Fail to deploy a website with dummy backend-CodePudding

I've created a project consisting only HTML files and I want to deploy this on Heroku. So I've created a dummy backend to deploy on Heroku but when I run this on localhost then it shows me an error that no such file or directory

error pic:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname)));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname   'project.html'));
});

// add other routes below
app.get('/Vaccine2', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname   'Vaccine2.html'));
});

app.get('/hospital', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname   'hospital.html'));
});

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);

CodePudding user response：

Add a backslash \ to the file names.

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname   '\project.html'));
});

// add other routes below
app.get('/Vaccine2', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname   '\Vaccine2.html'));
});

app.get('/hospital', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname   '\hospital.html'));
});

First delete a branch in Git

rm -rf .git

after then create an src directory on the project

and change your code

this:

app.use('/src', express.static(path.join(__dirname)));

to this:

app.use('/src', express.static(path.join(__dirname   '/src')));

go your package.json file and add your node.js version like:

"engines": {
  "node": "14.x"
 }

and try deploy your website again

git add .
git commit -m "Added a Procfile."
heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials.

heroku create
