heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static: New versions of node break the build

We’re experiencing same issue here.

It seems it fails on this line https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static/blob/master/lib/build.sh#LL28C30-L28C176 and it looks like https://nodebin.herokai.com is down.

curl --verbose --data-urlencode "range=18.16.0" "https://nodebin.herokai.com/v1/node/linux-x64/latest.txt"

Using Gigalixir’s fork instead of this buildpack works fine.

Same issue started happening for me today, I when I run the same command as mentioned above I also see

 # curl -get "https://nodebin.herokai.com/v1/node/linux-x64/latest.txt"
curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to nodebin.herokai.com:443

Is this buildpack even maintained anymore?

FYI, before forking myself found out that gigalixir’s fork fixed it 😄

I can confirm that it looks like the root of this problem lies in the nodebin.herokai.com service. Some issue with SSL

# curl -get "https://nodebin.herokai.com/v1/node/linux-x64/latest.txt"
curl: (35) LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to nodebin.herokai.com:443

This is suddenly failing for me, I hadn’t done any change to the config and had been able to deploy just fine, with Node 14, but then I started getting:

remote: /tmp/codon/tmp/buildpacks/046a7dbb0bd21772e3b9d262d0fbe72be102671d/lib/build.sh: line 29: fail_bin_install: command not found

I have tried upgrading the Heroku stack, and also to the latest versions of Node and NPM in my phoenix_static_buildpack.config like:

node_version=20.2.0
npm_version=9.6.6
clean_cache=true

But I still get that error:

remote: -----> Installing binaries
remote:        clean_cache option set to true.
remote:        Cleaning out cache contents
remote:        Cleaning up old Node v14.13.0

remote:  !     Push rejected, failed to compile Phoenix app.

I double-checked and Node 20.2.0 is available in Heroku. I also tried with 20.1.0 and also fails.

Using Gigalixir’s fork instead of this buildpack works fine.

It does but that is obviously a very temporary fix as others have pointed out. I’d be open to contributing to updates for this buildpack, but I think it’d be really helpful to have some contributing guidelines on the repository if anyone who’s worked on it before is happy to put those together?

See: https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/2598

Heroku informed me that the URL https://nodebin.herokai.com/ works again now.

Still, thanks for the warning that it will be decommissioned soon @joshwlewis - let’s remove that dependency.

Cool @mracos - I can confirm that deploys work fine with Gigalixir’s fork 👍

Thanks for the confirmation @pankamyk - I’ve submitted a ticket to Heroku.

I’ve encountered the same issue just now. No changes to buildpack config/node versions, but suddenly it keeps failing. Same error as everyone else. Npm/node versions:

node_version=13.14.0
npm_version=6.14

Same problem here with a deployment using Heroku. npm 6.14.13 and yarn 1.22.11

remote:  !     Push rejected, failed to compile Phoenix app.

Edit : The version of node was wrong. The error was solved by adding this to phoenix_static_buildpack.config :

node_version=14.17.3
npm_version=6.14.13
yarn_version=1.22.11
