Deploy with Heroku

[arnaudjnn]

I have the following error when trying to deploy with Heroku. What I forget?

Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'file-saver' in '/tmp/build_5841cb02_/plugins/content-export-import/admin/src/containers/ExportPage'

I guess you need to run yarn install in the plugin folder.
file-saver is a dependency of this plugin.

[arnaudjnn]

Already done 😔

[SalahAdDin]

how did you do that?
i tried through ssh but i couldn't do that, can you help me @arnaudjnn ?

[SalahAdDin]

@arnaudjnn I don't know if you could solve it but I did in the following way:

• I added this plugin as a git submodule to make Heroku to clone it before to build the project:

cd plugins && git submodule add https://github.com/lazurey/strapi-plugin-content-export-import.git plugins/content-export-import

• I added the library dependencies from the plugin to the project:

    "file-saver": "^2.0.2",
    "pluralize": "^8.0.0",
    "strapi-helper-plugin": "^3.2.5"

• I installed it locally in order to update the yarn.lock package.
• Finally, I made a commit and I pushed it directly to Heroku.

That's enough.

@SalahAdDin thanks for sharing your solution. Just to verify your process:
1, create plugins directory
2, cd plugins
3, git submodule add https://github.com/lazurey/strapi-plugin-content-export-import.git plugins/content-export-import
4, install those three dependencies at the root level
5 deploy to Heroku

Correct?

@SalahAdDin I tried and the folder structure looks like this, but after deployment, this plugin is still unavailable with Heroku. Anything wrong? Thanks!!

[SalahAdDin]

Did you try to re deploy it? I solved adding it as submodule; after deploying to heroku, it pulls the submodule itself and installs it.

[chloesun]

@SalahAdDin I set up the auto-deploy with Heroku, so technically after pushing to Github, it will redeploy. Here is my repo https://github.com/chloesun/ESDB_strapi, looks right to you? I still don't see that plugin installed in the production...

[SalahAdDin]

Try deployin it manually, your repository looks like mine, so, it is correct.

[chloesun]

@SalahAdDin thanks for your speedy reply, I even restart an app with Heroku, and manually deploy it, but still not showing this plugin.....

[SalahAdDin]

It is not normal, check when you deploy, and look the Heroku documentation as well.

It is missing your change on the repository, what it does is the same on local: it pulls the repository code before to build the admin panel: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git-submodules#git-submodules, look it, specially the warning note.

@SalahAdDin Thanks so much, I tried deploying with Heroku cli, and this time it worked! In the log, remote: Cloning into 'plugins/content-export-import'... remote: Submodule path 'plugins/content-export-import': checked out 'ccd9b9c933c70417db758ebb2e3c46028354cc78' remote: remote: Compressing source files... done.,
For some reason, I was deploying by connecting it to Github repo, and the Git submodules wasn't detected.

[SalahAdDin]

@chloesun It is because modules just works with direct pushes to heroku (as the warning says).
