Deploy WebSharper.Suave web application to Heroku

Question

I can not understand what I need to change to make it. I created a demo project from this blogpost with app.json and Procfile:

web: fsharpi-heroku WebsahrperSuaveHerokuExample1.sln

Next, I tried to deploy it to Heroku in accordance with these recommendations:

heroku create websahrper-with-suave-example --buildpack https://github.com/SuaveIO/mono-script-buildpack.git
heroku git:remote -a websahrper-with-suave-example
git push heroku master

There was an error in Heroku when building the project:

...
Import process completed.
-----> packages.config found, installing dependencies with nuget
Cannot open assembly 'install': No such file or directory.
!     Push rejected, failed to compile SuaveFramework app

Could you suggest me a solution if there is one?

You might need to compile it first and run the executable. – Adrian Mar 02 '16 at 13:07 — Adrian, Mar 02 '16 at 13:07

Have you tried here:

https://github.com/SuaveIO/heroku-getting-started

Fork it and click the Deploy to Heroku button.

Yes, I have done this successfully. This is a **script-based** demo project, but the question is how to deploy existed project with a **directory with a .sln solution**. [This](https://suave.io/heroku.html) article says: *Your application needs to be either a single script app.fsx (plus a Heroku Procfile and dummy.sln file) OR a **directory with a .sln solution** (plus a Heroku Procfile)* – fpawel Mar 01 '16 at 05:32

Don't have the rep to comment on the above, but ademar's solution should cover as well as long as you don't have a file named "app.fsx"

The heroku buildpack checks to see if there is a script, then checks for a solution: https://github.com/SuaveIO/mono-script-buildpack/blob/master/bin/compile#L66

Just make sure there is a .sln file in the project directory (can be empty, just needs to be present) or fork the buildpack and just make it default run mono $YOURPROJECT in the compile step.

When using an sln instead of a script, you need to change your Procfile to:

web: mono Path/execName.exe

What should Path be? Something like `bin/debug`? – Brian Berns Aug 29 '17 at 05:14
@brianberns mine is "src/ProjectFolder/bin/Release/execName.exe" – N_A Aug 29 '17 at 12:59
