Heroku node_modules not found

I have a REST API built using Node.js and Express.js. The api works when running locally (tested via postman) and also works with heroku local web.

The problem comes when I deploy it to Heroku. As far I know, it doesnt find node_modules folder. here is the error when viewing Heroku logs.

2018-08-05T23:06:22.543693+00:00 app[web.1]: npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] start script.
2018-08-05T23:06:22.543859+00:00 app[web.1]: npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

2018-08-05T23:06:22.633382+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Process exited with status 1
2018-08-05T23:06:22.844536+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed

I logged to Heroku bash using heroku run bash and see all my files including node_modules is there. Tried running running yarn dev in the bash (my start script) here is what i get

~ $ yarn dev
yarn run v1.9.4
$ nps dev
/bin/sh: 1: nps: not found
error Command failed with exit code 127.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

Here is my package.json file Package.json Here is my package-scripts.js file package-scripts.js

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I literally tried every stackoverflow suggestion but still no luck

Set heroku config:set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false and try. Heroku will strip out the packages declared under devDependencies before deploying the application. nps module under devDependencies will not be available.

Check if your package.json file has the dependencies added. I faced the same problem cuz I didnt have the dependencies.
