Deploy to Heroku button crashes repeatedly

[Srol]

I attempted to set this up using the deploy to Heroku button in the readme. The bot deployed okay and started up fine. I could see in the console log that it had connected successfully to the Slack API and received a list of all the channels and groups I'm in.

But within 60 seconds of this, Heroku shut down the app with the following log message.

2017-03-04T14:50:49.937981+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch
2017-03-04T14:50:49.938076+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Stopping process with SIGKILL
2017-03-04T14:50:50.077437+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed
2017-03-04T14:50:50.056810+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Process exited with status 137

This happened every time the bot attempted to restart. I meant to try and clone the repo and deploy to Heroku manually to see if that has the same problem, but I am actually leaving on vacation in like 20 minutes. Just wanted to make sure I posted this before I left or I will never remember.

Hmmm, it shouldn't be trying to start a web process seeing it's not a webserver. I haven't used Heroku in a while but I will take a look.

Enjoy your vacation!

Updated the app.json file with a type to see if I can get it to avoid deploying a web version. Unfortunately Heroku want's payment info to deploy it for me. I'm not inclined to give that to them so if you want to give it a try when you get back, let me know if that made a difference.

Looking around, it seems Heroku only deploys 'web' apps without needing payment info. :-/

Hey, also not able to deploy to Heroku via the button in the README. Couldn't see the whole error log on Heroku so I tried setting it up locally. The tests run and the bot can login to Slack and get the corresponding bot on my team but it crashes instantly with these errors:

Not sure if it has to do with my config for the bot or just the bot and the communication to the Slack API?

@jesperorb Is this a fresh install? Looks like you're missing moment-timezone I just added it last release.

@shaunburdick cloned it same day as I wrote the comment.moment-timezone is in both package.json and in node-modules and required right in bot.js.
