Deploy meteor/meteorite 0.8.3 to heroku - heroku

Question

I just updated my app to meteor 0.8.3. Locally it runs without problems. But when I try to push it to heroku, I'll get the following error:
Building meteor bundle
simple-schema: updating npm dependencies -- string...
iron-router: updating npm dependencies -- connect...
lodash: updating npm dependencies -- lodash...
Errors prevented bundling:
While building the application:
error: no such package: 'accounts-ui-bootstrap-3'
error: no such package: 'accounts-entry'
While building package `iron-dynamic-template`:
error: no such package: 'blaze'
tar: /app/tmp/cache/bundle.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
! Push rejected, failed to compile Meteor app app
For deployment, I used the buildpack of oortcloud. This worked proper in the past. https://github.com/oortcloud/heroku-buildpack-meteorite
I'm most confused by the earlier log entries before the error happens. Here it says that Meteor 0.8.1.1 is being installed. A couple of lines after that it confirms that Meteor 0.8.3 has been installed. I'm pretty sure that this is the same issue like this. https://github.com/EventedMind/iron-dynamic-template/issues/2

Meteor 0.8.3 has been installed in your home directory (~/.meteor).
Now you need to do one of the following:
(1) Add ~/.meteor to your path, or
(2) Run this command as root:
cp ~/.meteor/tools/latest/launch-meteor /usr/bin/meteor
Then to get started, take a look at 'meteor --help' or see the docs at
docs.meteor.com.
I also tried to create a new meteorite app to get rid of dangling dependencies. But without success!
What can I do? Is there a chance to debug the push/deploy on the heroku server?

Answer 1

The outdated file .meteor/release caused the problem:
git heroku push master fetches the files to deploy from the origin git repository. It doesn't care about local, unstaged files. Somehow the file .meteor/release has not been pushed to the origin repository. So during the installation routine at heroku the meteor version was 0.8.1.1 and not 0.8.3.
Solution to avoid this problem:
Check/Add the files .meteor/release and .meteor/packages to your origin git repo
Test only what's in your origin repo before you deploy it. Use git pull
