@finnhodgkin the/my preferred solution to this is not to include the "noisy" compiled version of the code in git but rather to build the elm version on Heroku before running the app...

Attempted to use Heroku Buildpack for Elm apps: https://github.com/srid/heroku-buildpack-elm
got:

Read through previous issues on: https://github.com/srid/heroku-buildpack-elm/issues

which suggests that using an app.json file might solve the issue ... 🤔

examples of app.json files:

• https://github.com/anicholson/elm-hangman/blob/master/app.json
• https://github.com/mdgriffith/elm-electron-todomvc/blob/master/app.json

from hapi-socketio-redis-chat-example.

Build (with elm make) succeeds on Heroku with the addition of app.json:

However the app still crashes because npm start is still trying to elm-make before starting:

Logs look promising:

Awesome, thanks for sorting it! Definitely a better solution than committing the compiled JS.

The elm version still has the same issue with huge overlapping side-scroll, but that should be an easy css fix.

from hapi-socketio-redis-chat-example.

@finnhodgkin yeah, we should add the side-scroll issue as a bug to be fixed. 👍
thanks again for opening this issue and reviewing my PR.
I learned a bit about app.json files and opened: dwyl/learn-heroku#10
(in case someone else wants to document it's usage)
