Error: Cannot find module './../dist'

[piercelamb]

I clicked the "deploy to heroku" button and went through the required steps on the linked page to deploy. In the heroku logs after trying to load the site, i get:

Did the same here and it fails. You need to use the other fork:

https://github.com/Wiredcraft/slackin

[piercelamb]

Perfect, worked. Thank you.

Turns out that doesn't work. The other fork has the following issue:

[itechdom]

It seems that the issue is resolved by pushing the dist folder generated by the build (gulp in this case). I used heroku-cli to clone the app, then I just ran npm install, which in turn generated the dist folder. I pushed it to master afterwards and it worked.

Also, take a look at https://github.com/rauchg/slackin/issues/221

[rootical]

Any better solution then @itechdom offers? It shouldn't be like this.

236 doesn't seem to help.
