javascript - Error: ENOENT, stat '/app/public/views/index.html' in Heroku -

i'm having error serving static views on heroku app. strangely, heroku seems append "app" front of static file paths, , i'm not sure why. path should "public/views/index.html."

i tried proposed solution stack, didn't seem work: node.js, can't open files. error: enoent, stat './path/to/file'

the requests server:

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));  app.get('/', function (req, res) {   res.sendfile(__dirname + '/public/views/index.html'); });  // profile page app.get('/profile', function (req, res) {   // check current (logged-in) user   req.currentuser(function (err, user) {     // show profile if logged-in user     if (user) {       res.sendfile(__dirname + '/public/views/profile.html');     // redirect if no user logged in     } else {       res.redirect('/');     }   }); }); 

does have idea why heroku append "app" paths?

all paths work correctly on local server. thanks!

this because global __dirname variable inside heroku set /app. use process.env.pwd instead of __dirname.
