How to run Bower on Heroku

I'm trying to deploy a NodeJs App on Heroku and this app uses bower. I did what have been suggested here, but I'm having this error on Heroku after a push:

bower error status code of git: 128

Well, doing that may not fix this problem, but you can use

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

to tell git to use HTTPS instead of GIT which worked out for me to install npm dependencies.

Here is what I use in my app:

Adding proper scripts to package.json

"scripts": {
  "start": "node web.js",
  "postinstall": "bower cache clean && bower install"
},

Add bower to dependency list

"dependencies": {
  ...
  "bower": "~1.3.12",
   ...
},

Publishing flow for Heroku is following

  1. It pulls recent version
  2. Runs install
  3. Runs postinstall
  4. Runs start

Apparently people have cleaned their cache?

You can run arbitrary commands on your heroku host by using:

heroku run console
