Foreman exiting with code 1

I'm a complete heroku and nodejs newbie. I just followed a tutorial to get a GroupMe bot running locally with heroku. After running the command foreman start, I receive the following:

18:10:00 web.1 | started with pid 24985 18:10:00 web.1 | exited with code 1 18:10:00 system | sending SIGTERM to all processes

The procfile reads:

web: node index.js

How do I prevent exiting with code 1 above?

Solution

  • You might see that message if you don't have node installed on your local machine. You can check by typing

    node --version
