I built my app using yeoman angular-fullstack generator and then modified for my own purposes. I built the dist folder to deploy to heroku using yo angular-fullstack:deploy heroku. It creates a new heroku app for me and when I cd into the dist folder and git push heroku master everything works great.
I want to be able to add my existing heroku app to the deployment process for this dist folder so I followed this post How to link a folder with an existing Heroku app. I'm able to then deploy to my own app with a different remote name than heroku.
I keep getting the same error when it starts to run on heroku. I can't figure out why the exact same code runs fine on the app created for me but not my existing app. It's almost like I need to clear the node_modules and push again?
