Hubot won't start on Heroku because of node modules

[joanrodriguez]

I installed Hubot with the yo generator and it worked fine locally. However it crashed on Heroku, throwing node_modules/.bin/hubot not found

yo had installed every modules in the local folder but left package.json empty. Because it also generated a gitignore containing node_modules, no dependency was getting installed on Heroku.

I solved my problem by nuking the node_modules folder with rm -r node_modules and then reinstalling every module with npm install --save

Is this normal?

yes

@joanrodriguez did you generate with https://github.com/github/generator-hubot? If so, that's a bug because it should be updating your package.json.

I'm going to close here since it belongs on another repo, but please let us know if you are still seeing a problem!
