Error: Command failed: heroku container:login

[LDubya]

@jkrup I've been experiencing this issue for about a week now. Thought I'd be able to figure it out but haven't. Same issue whether or not I include a prod.env file. Any ideas?

$ meteor --version       
Meteor 1.10.2

node version is v12.10.0, but I get the same error when I downgrade to 8.10.

After logging into Heroku, it looks like it's being created as a "heroku-18" stack, instead of a "container" stack. Is there a setting that needs to be set on deployment via meteor-hero to endure it's deployed using the "container" stack?

[LDubya]

Was able to get a bit further along by installing Docker Desktop. However, the deploy process hangs and never finishes. And it's still showing up as a "heroku-18" stack instead of a "container" stack.

@jkrup are you experiencing these issues? Any suggestions on how to fix? I haven't been able to deploy with this package for two weeks. Been deploying using other methods but would like to be able to use this again.
