The problem seems to be with a dependency in package.json.

It points to https://github.com/skhavari/smooch-bot.git, and that repository does not exists anymore.

Using the official smooch-bot may solve the problem.

This would mean to replace
"smooch-bot": "https://github.com/skhavari/smooch-bot.git",

by
"smooch-bot": "^1.0.1",

DISCLAIMER: I've not tested it myself!

[nickhamlin]

The solution above is right: fixing package.json to point to a repo that exists worked for me

@jsrothwell @tooaverage
#44 pull request should fix it. I was having the same issue and making that fix in package.json to update the smooch-bot url to following "smooch-bot": "https://github.com/smooch/smooch-bot.git", fixed it. You can either change in your fork and build it build it on heroku again. Or you can wait for the PR go in and upadte your forked repo with this one again. Hope it helps!

[w33vils]

kindly show me how i can update my repo after making the changes. I have made the changes and when i click on the build on heroku button, it still brings the error with the logs indicating a change hasnt been made.
