How to update Heroku parser-server with latest code from github?

[astanton]

Sorry but this may be a really dumb question and I googled but had no luck, but I am not sure how to update my Heroku parse-server with the latest code on github. I used the "1 button push" installation on Heroku, so I'm not even sure which version they installed at the time (nor how to find out).

I'd like to get the latest code base because it appears a fix for an issue holding me back has been made.

#773

Which I am having this exact issue someone posted here:

#783

I tried updating the version in my package.json to 2.1.4 (it was 2.1.2) and pushed it but it appears I'm still getting the same error as the guy in #783 so I didn't think it actually worked.

The latest code on github has that change so I'm just wondering how I can update my parse-server code on there, thanks!

To clone the project you've deployed with the heroku button, you use the Heroku Toolbelt, the command line tool: https://toolbelt.heroku.com/

They explain how to use it to clone a deployed app: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git-clone-heroku-app

edit: see the much easier version below:

There is an easier way:

• clone project from heroku
• in project folder
• run $ git submodule add git@github.com:ParsePlatform/parse-server.git
• run $ npm link parse-server ./parse-server

In details:
$ git submodule add git@github.com:ParsePlatform/parse-server.git

This will add parse-server as a submodule, heroku will understand that and fetch it when you push to heroku (see here)

$ npm link parse-server ./parse-server

This tells npm to use ./parse-server directory, that now contains the sources to use that directory for parse-server

You should be good to go.

When it comes to update your submodule,

# in your heroku project directory 
# change to the submodule directory
cd parse-server

# checkout desired branch
git checkout master

# update
git pull

# get back to your project root
cd ..

# now the submodules are in the state you want, so
# this will commit all changes
git commit -am "Pulled last version of parse-server"

Thanks I updated but it appears to not have solved the issue I had, I'll open a new issue explaining it in more details.

Hi,

I followed steps you have mentioned. i encountered errors when running step 2 so ran with sudo and it worked.
but git push heroku master fails with below log. I tried everything i could find on stackverflow.com etc but nothing worked. tried deleting keys from Heroku account, generated new keys, login, logout from Heroku. All effort failed. I am new to Node, Heroku etc so finding even more difficult to solve.

please help. What could be wrong? My directory structure is as below:

|- parse-server
|- package.json
