Instructions to deploy DashR apps on Heroku do not work

[firasm]

The instructions here: Dash for R User Guide and Documentation | R & RStats | Plotly do not seem to lead to a correctly deployed app on Heroku.

For instance,

• Following instructions and deploying lead to an error that the version/language of the app cannot be detected
• there is no mention of build packs for R. Is this required? Which one is recommended? I have tried GitHub - virtualstaticvoid/heroku-buildpack-r: Heroku buildpack for R - Makes deploying R on Heroku easy since it seems to be the most popular, but there are errors on deployment:

       Error: Failed to install 'dash' from GitHub:
         (converted from warning) installation of package ‘/tmp/Rtmpd6Qpbf/file30b4784b2bc/dash_0.1.0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
       Execution halted
       ERROR: R 3.4.4 failed while executing "init". Check the log for details.
 !     Push rejected, failed to compile R Console app.
 !     Push failed

The python instructions work fine, but the R deployment instructions are incomplete.

Did you find a solution to deploy DashR apps on Heroku? I am struggling with the same thing

Yes I did eventually!

This used to work: GitHub - firasm/dashR_deployed when I taught this course a few months ago. I hope it still does, but might need to updated.
