Here is the error message:

Answer 1

I get this error a lot too. every third push to heroku fails because of bower postinstall.

While this is not a robust fix, and I don't fully understand why it helps! but this hepled me, so hopefully will help someone else.

Despite /lib folder is being added to .gitignore, force add it before deploying heroku

git add -f public/lib
git commit -m "force add bower libs"
git push heroku master
