This seems like more of a Heroku related issue, could you possibly contact their support team?

nana-sv, check that your .gitignore file doesn’t include package-lock.json

Otherwise I’m not sure what the issue is. Your project should normally include a package-json that’s up to date with your package.json, because Glitch re-runs pnpm install quite often :man_shrugging:

I have some projects on Glitch that started out using pnpm, which creates shrinkwrap.yaml instead of package-lock.json. If you’ve tried everything else and there’s still no package-lock generated, maybe try enable-npm to have Glitch use npm, which generates the package-lock.json. Or maybe there’s a way to have pnpm generate it, but I haven’t looked into that.
