Unable to deploy app with dash in name (.cr does not exist)

[cloewen8]

I'm having trouble getting my app to compile for Heroku. I can compile it just fine on my own machine. I am getting an error message, but I'm not sure what it means or how to go about troubleshooting it: .cr does not exist. Any idea what this means and how to resolve it?

I created the project using crystal init, added a Procfile (web: crystal src/cj-fan-server), adjusted the license and version, and created a lib folder. I have not made any other changes to the configuration (not including source code) or structure (source: https://github.com/cloewen8/CJ-Fan-Server).

So far I've tried adding .cr to the process command, renaming the Procfile temporarily, and searching for the error message (not a single match).

I would try removing the procfile.

But most important, share the logs of the $ git push heroku master

Removing the Procfile entirely did not make a difference. Here is the entire log:

I did some testing with the shell script, and found a solution (on my end). It works if I surround the name, in shard.yml, in double quotes (name: "cj-fan-server").

I don't have much experience with shell scripts, so I'm not sure why this is happening, but I found that anything after ${shard_name} was being placed at the beginning of the line (overwriting characters). Example: Main: ${shard_name}.cr => .crin: cj-fan-server

@cloewen8 could you paste the content of your shard.yml? I guess it is probably missing the top level name: key.

if the code has name: foo in shard.yml, the file to be compiled is ./src/foo.cr.

Cool, my last comment was sent without noticing discovery. So it's definitely an issue with shards with names with dashes.

Thanks for narrowing it down and offer a workaround.
