When deploying a fullstack Javascript app to Heroku, I receive the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'node-linux-x64/package.json'

There's also a syntax error, but I don't believe that's the cause.

I'm a Mac user, so I'm unsure of what's going on. I've checked for the syntax error, but found nothing. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Node, etc...

  • Try this out: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16151018/npm-throws-error-without-sudo/16151707#16151707 since it might be an `npm` issue. –  Jun 25 '19 at 15:47

I ended up deleting the node dependency I installed in my package.json and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the answers guys, hope this helps anyone else that runs into this.

Not sure if this is going to work but try adding this to your package.json:

"postinstall": "npm rebuild grpc --target=10.15.0 --target_arch=x64 --target_platform=linux --target_libc=glibc"

to the scripts element as such

"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"postinstall": "npm rebuild grpc --target=10.15.0 --target_arch=x64 --target_platform=linux --target_libc=glibc"
}

and rebuild your project Change the 'target' to your desired node version
