Deploying to Heroku with github

[eyamnitsky]

Environment Setup & Steps to repro

I have a vanilla parse-server deployed to Heroku with "heroku button" - everything runs well.
Then, I make a benign change (add a space) to test deployment to Heroku with Git (from within the Heroku interface).
The Build completes successfully, and Heroku says the app has been deployed. However it crashes with the log below.
I don't understand why push from github to Heroku works flawlessly, while running deploy from Heroku fails.
I reviewed a similar issue, and the proposed resolution was to add "lib" and "node_modules" folders to git repo. I did that but no luck - exactly same error.

Please advise!

It does sound similar to issue #1120 but you say you added those files.

Is your project a fork of parse-server or do you include parse-server as a dependency in your package.json?

[eyamnitsky]

I'm not sure if it is similar to #1120. I found the suggestions to add lib and node_modules in #472. Still didn't work.
I'm wondering what are the differences between running build&deploy from Heroku Deploy interface vs. the Heroku button from within the git repo (which works).

[flovilmart]

did you remove lib from the gitignore, and add -f the ./lib folder to git before pushing?
