Rejected push, failed to compile Node.js app

I have an Angular 2 project which I intend to deploy to Heroko, so I configured the package.json file, and created a server.js file in the project's root, and when I'm trying to push the project, it gives me a parse error and says that it expected another key-value pair at line 13, column 3. I've verified the respective line 13, column 3 in the file, but I don't find anything strange there. Maybe I do not see something =/. Below I'll leave the 'package.json', and a screen with the error message.

Solution

  • Your JSON file is malformed. You might want to use a JSON validator to check it: https://jsonlint.com/

    Remove the , at the end of "postinstall": "ng build --aot -prod", and "npm": "5.6.0",.
