This post relates to a rapidly changing event.
I simply want to connect to my GitHub account. When I do it, I get this error message as a small red pop up on the upper right side of the page:
Items could not be retrieved, Internal server error.
As of May 25, 2022, at 19:52 UTC, GitHub integration has been re-enabled:
We are happy to report that the GitHub integration is re-enabled! You can now reconnect with GitHub and restore your Heroku pipeline functionality, including Review Apps, with newly generated tokens.
You can connect to GitHub immediately or wait for the enhanced integration as described in this blog post. To re-establish your GitHub connection now, please follow these instructions.
Here is what the referenced blog post says about "enhanced integration":
In an effort to improve the security model of the integration, we are exploring additional enhancements in partnership with GitHub, which include moving to GitHub Apps for more granular permissions and enabling RFC8705 for better protection of OAuth tokens. As these enhancements require changes by both Heroku and GitHub, we will post more information as the engagement evolves.
No timeline is mentioned for availability of the enhanced integration.
Between April 15 and May 25, 2022, Heroku's GitHub integration feature was disabled while Heroku investigated a security breach. During that time, deploying was still possible via other means, most notably via git push.
To mitigate impact from potentially compromised OAuth tokens, we will revoke over the next several hours all existing tokens from the Heroku GitHub integration. We are also preventing new OAuth tokens from being created until further notice. Your GitHub repositories will not be affected in any way by this action.
Which Heroku features have become non-operative due to the removal of the Heroku-GitHub integration?
Enabling review apps
Creating (automatic and manual) review apps
Deploying (automatic and manual) review apps
Deploying an app from GitHub (either manual or automatic)
Heroku CI cannot create new runs (automatically or manually) or see GitHub branch list
Heroku Button: unable to create button apps from private repositories
ChatOps: unable to deploy or get deploy notifications
Any app with a GitHub integration may be affected by this issue. To address specific integration issues, please open a case with Heroku Support
Migrating from GitHub deployment to Git deployment
At 2022-04-21 23:53 UTC, Heroku provided extended instructions for migrating from GitHub-based deployment to Git-based deployment:
While our customers remain unable to reconnect to GitHub via the Heroku dashboard, we wanted to share a supplement to the code deployment methods previously provided. For instructions on how to change your deployment method from GitHub to Heroku Git, please refer to the following Help article: How to switch deployment method from GitHub to Heroku Git with all the changes/app code available in a GitHub repo.
This is due to an issue reported at their status portal, here.
For now, the solution is to use another pushing strategy.
The best one, for now, is using their remote with Heroku CLI. The steps for it are:
1. Install the Heroku CLI if not yet installed
Further information about installation and setup can get here
2. Perform login with the heroku login command
You will be prompted with your default browser window for completing the login at the Heroku portal.
3. Assuming you already have your app set up at Heroku (if not, please follow this), you just need to add a new remote for your Git repository with Heroku CLI.
Run heroku git:remote -a example-app - substitute "example-app" with your app name.
4. git remote -v to check if the remote has been set successfully
You should see something like this appear as a response:
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your-app-name.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your-app-name.git (push)
5. Push your branch to the new heroku remote
git push heroku your_branch_name
6. You should see the progress of your deployment being displayed in the terminal
The reference for this answer has been taken from here, which can also be used if further information other than the one provided in this answer is needed.
I'm in the same situation, and, as others stated, it's due to a Heroku security issue. In the meantime, you can deploy your code by using the Heroku CLI.
So, on the Heroku web dashboard, select Heroku Git:
Then set up the Heroku CLI with heroku login.
Finally, if your repository already exists on GitHub, you need to add a new remote by running:
heroku git:remote -a your_app_name
git push heroku master
You can find more information about this solution in the official documentation.
It is just a temporary thing, and more details about this issue are here.
You could push to both GitHub and Heroku at once for a temporary solution:
git push -u origin <branch>
git push heroku <branch>
I see the previous answers, but since I was facing an issue with review-apps (PR apps), mostly you will be working with different branches in that case, so here is a solution for pushing your stuff other than the (master/main) branch to Heroku.
First make sure your remote origin is set up correctly
heroku git:remote -a your_awesome_app
You can also confirm it by git remote -v and you should see your origin pointing to your Heroku application.
git remote -v
heroku https://git.heroku.com/your_awesome_app.git (fetch)
Here origin name is heroku.
If you want to deploy your changes from the main branch
git push heroku main
If you want to push your changes from feature branch (other than the* main branch)
Then push your feature branch to Heroku using the below command
git push heroku feature:main
heroku - is your origin name (confirm your origin name with git remote -v
feature - is your current branch which is other than main/master branch (check your branch name with git branch or git status)
For those who are using this integration for deployment purposes this, I suggest you use the deploy to a Heroku GitHub action here:
Deploy to Heroku
That way, you do not have to make significant changes to your deployment workflow.
I had the same issue. I already had cli installed.
git remote
Output:
heroku
origin
git remote -v
Output:
heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git (push)
origin https://github.com/GitUserName/yourRepo.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/GitUserName/yourRepo.git (push)
Verify using the Git branch, if your branch is named main. For example, you would do:
git push heroku main
For me it is
git push heroku master
Now push your local changes
git push heroku master
Output:
To https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
I do not care that it is different than its remote. I've been developing locally and did not realize the automatic Git deploys had been failing. I care about the local changes:
git push heroku master -f
Now the deployed application is working as expected.
If you are getting an error while trying to push, it may be due to having different branch names for development vs deployment. In such a case, follow the instruction below;
If you are developing on a branch and deploying via Git you must run:
git push heroku <branchname you're developing on>:<branch you're deploying from>
This article goes into details on the behavior:
Duplicate Build Version Detected
Here's the easy work pattern I have used for Heroku. This is intended to help others who may not have gone through this before. I used this previously (2014-5) and had to set it up again last night to push.
First add the Heroku remote:
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/YOUR-APP.git
As GitHub is often "origin" (git push origin...), this adds another remote destination, "heroku" (git push heroku...)
git remote
Output:
heroku
origin
My pattern for code/git/pushing:
Local development is the same. Push to GitHub, merge, and nothing changes.
Set your deploy to "Heroku git" as #a-chris outlines.
To push to Heroku, simply push the correct branch to the newly added "heroku" remote source. I use the --force option to dismiss any possibility of conflict. Unless you have been using Heroku Git and branching previously, there should only be one branch - typically "master" to use.
This will trigger a deploy. You can watch or review in the dashboard as well as the terminal. Treat the new "heroku" source as a directory to dump code to promote and not a repository you want to keep history, etc. A second-class citizen in this particular pattern.
I push from my local terminal now instead of auto-deploy or via the dashboard button. If your organisation is large, I recommend controlling access. Many developers may not have experience juggling multiple destination repositories or to catch an accidental push.
To trigger a local push, be sure your master (or whatever) is up to date...watch your commit hashes!
This will set you up to follow advice such as BR19_so and others.
Henrique Aron's answer is working for the local machine.
For a remote SSH server, you will face an IP mismatch error.
To resolve it:
Log in to the Heroku website
Go to account settings
Reveal the API keys in the panel
In the server CLI, type heroku login -i
Input email, use the API key as the password, and you can follow the rest of the steps of a Git remote push
I am using a 2014 MacBook Pro with macOS 11.6.5 (Big Sur) version for command
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
I was getting an error and a message to update to the latest Xcode. The latest Xcode needed the latest macOS, which I could not upgrade to (I needed a 2015 MacBook Pro or newer). For a 2014 MacBook Pro, I was able to Install Xcode_13.2.1.xip and was able to run. Now I can push updates to Heroku.
brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku
There is an update regarding this issue. You can now enable GitHub integration as mentioned in the update.
If it doesn't work, you can try removing the App connection to GitHub (disconnect) and adding the connection again. Adding the connection again can also be done in incognito mode because sometimes an issue occurs related to cookies (mentioned here).
Problem: I have a project with a server (Express Server that handles file uploading and deleting) and client (Front End Create-React-App). The project structure looks like follows:
Root Folder With Server
Client Folder
Each folder has it's own package.json. Server Package.json. Client package.json
I'm trying to build and deploy onto azure however the pipeline hangs on "npm install and build".
It seems like the build succeeds but this phase just hangs. Here is my server.js (the routes are not included) file and yaml file just in case.
I'd appreciate any kind of help. Thank you!
Troubleshooting suggestions:
In the case of ensuring that the code in github is consistent with the local code, if an exception occurs, it is recommended to replace the linux platform and redeploy.
It is recommended to use my suggestion to recreate the repository, and then check the Action status in github.
Sum up:
In general, it is more appropriate to use Linux in azure than windows. For example, Linux supports npx, and may also support other packages and commands.
When the local code can run normally, there is generally no problem when deploying to github, unless there may be modifications, which we have ignored. So make sure the code is consistent.
General correct deployment steps:
First in the portal, make sure to create a web app application (not a static web app), and select the node environment.
Make sure that the sever program can run normally locally. Create a new repository in github.
->git init
->git add.
->git commit -m'init'
->git remote add origin https://github.com/{your name}/newAppname.git
->git push -u origin master
Connect in the Portal's Deployment center.
Then check the status of Action in github.
I asked the same question on salesforce.stackexchange a few days ago, but no response so far. So trying here as well.
Question is; How do I migrate Heroku-connect mappings from e.g. staging to prod when doing promote in my pipeline?
The project per now is just a small web api to be used by a mobile app, implemented in node.js. Using heroku-connect for fetch of salesforce data only.
There is not a way to automatically migrate/promote mappings. You can export an existing mapping using the Heroku Connect API or Toolbelt Plugin: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-connect-api#step-7-import-a-mapping-configuration
heroku connect:export -a your-staging-app # Outputs JSON based on app+database name
heroku connect:import name_of_output_file.json -a your-prod-map
You could set this up as a release script or something if you wanted it to be automatic, though you would have to install the Heroku Toolbelt Plugin: https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/ksiggins/heroku-buildpack-toolbelt
I'm getting lost in the heroku documentation but I've basically finished the following steps and now I want to view the webpage showing the app (not on my local machine but on the web).
1) I've used package.json to specify the build of my node.js project
2) I've used a pipeline to connect my github project black-tomcat-dev/heroku-node-test to my main heroku app so once I update my own github repo it updates the main project.
3) Ive created express.js routing command to get to make a cool page that creates smileys.
**EDIT How does the pipeline work How can I push code from my black-tomcat-dev repo to the test environment in my main heroku app
This is a heroku, node.js and github question.
Pipelines in Heroku is basically a collection of individual Heroku apps. All the apps literally shares the same code between each other. It is similar to Continuous Delivery. Where it flows like
Review --> Development ---> Staging ----> Production
As you have connected GitHub with Heroku already, for every pull request, Heroku will automatically create an app (here, review app).
When you merge the pull request to master branch in GitHub, Heroku will automatically deploy the branch to Staging.
From the staging, you need to promote your app to production. This can be done either from Heroku environment or through command line - heroku pipelines:promote
Since you have only one app, this doesn't require pipeline. So, once you deploy to Heroku, you can directly open the app using command line:
heroku open -a <your_app_name_here>
I have a node.js application on my Github. Right now I am using Heroku for hosting it but I want to give DigitialOcean a try (the $5/month is more affordable).
I am used to using Heroku, where I just go create an app > connect it to my github account > deploy from the master branch > boom app deployed.
When I signed up for DO and started exploring it seemed way too much and too many steps to get my app deployed. I researched around to find a simpler way (similar to one I follow in Heroku) but all the blogs and YouTube videos go through the same tedious process.
I know I am being lazy but I just need a few clicks app deployment. Does anyone know a better (smarter) way I can deploy my app on DO from Github?
It will not be as easy with Heroku. It is always tempting to use cheaper services like Digital Ocean or Vultr and pay only fraction of the price (especially using coupon links that can make it free for months - Digital Ocean, Vultr) but having your own VPS means that you need to manage it yourself. Simplifying that process is what you pay for when you're using Heroku. But it doesn't have to be that bad.
Here is a good tutorial on how to do it:
https://www.distelli.com/docs/tutorials/build-and-deploy-nodejs-to-digitalocean/
And see this list of tutorials - search for those with "deploy" in the title:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tags/node-js?type=tutorials
Basically you have few options that I would consider here:
A semi-manual deploy with git - You can install a git server on your VPS and push to it whenever you want to deploy a new version
Automatic deploy with git - You can add a deployment process to you CI scripts that will do what you do manually in (1) but after all tests pass
You can trigger a pull from git on the server with ssh or a custom API
You can do (3) in your CI scripts
You can add a custom webhook in GitHub to notify your server about new version and your server may then pull the code and restart
You can add a custom webhook in CI and do the same as in (5)
