elm-app build command is failing

[kevgathuku]

Hello,
I'm using the elm-app tool to build a production build on Heroku and it fails with the following error:

I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

In this instance, I have create-elm-app installed as a local dependency in my package.json file.
Here's the repo with the failing build command: https://github.com/kevgathuku/elm-torrent-dbx

I got this fixed by ejecting the tool and running the generated build.js script directly. Worked like a charm 😄

Please reopen, I have the same problem in a docker containter elm and create-elm app installed globally

[kevgathuku]

@EvertYipYip does ejecting the tool still cause the same problem?

[EvertVerboven]

@kevgathuku did not test that yet. But in my opinion that isn't a robust solution. Yes I will be able to build my tool then, But it doen't fix the bug with create-elm-app

@EvertYipYip thanks for reopening the issue!

It should work as a local dependency, we'll look into that shortly 🙂
