Hello I was pretty sure I’ve post this question already, but I can’t find it. Sorry if it’s a duplicate. I’m trying to deploy nodejs app from github but I keep getting following ERROR: failed to build: exit status 1. The full log looks as follows:

In the package.json I have following declarations:
"version":"0.0.0",
"engines": {
"node": "^18.6.0",
"npm": "^8.14.0"
},
I can’t figure out what is the reason. The code works when run locally and also works when deployed to Heroku server. The App Spec is as follows:
databases:
- engine: PG
name: kbdb
num_nodes: 1
size: professional-xs
version: "12"
envs:
- key: LOCAL_BASE_URL
scope: RUN_AND_BUILD_TIME
value: ${APP_URL}
name: kboards-staging
region: fra
services:
- build_command: npm run build
environment_slug: node-js
envs:
- key: DATABASE_URL
scope: RUN_TIME
value: ${kbdb.DATABASE_URL}
- key: KBOARDS_APP_KEY
scope: RUN_AND_BUILD_TIME
value: kBoards-staging
github:
branch: master
repo: zpiecuch81/kBoards
http_port: 8080

Hi there,
It looks like a problem with the Node.js version that you are trying to use, I could suggest trying with the following instead:
{
"engines": {
"node": "18.x"
}
}
Let me know how it goes!
If this still fails, is your project open-source? If so can you share a link here so I could try the deployment process on my end for further troubleshooting?
As a side note, no worries about the duplicate questions, I will go ahead and delist them.
Best,
Bobby
