Update node js packages on heroku

Question

How can I tell Heroku to update my node modules?

I tried to do

heroku run bash
npm update <package>

and then restarted my heroku app

heroku restart -a <appname>

But I can't see the changes, I inserted same commands locally and it worked. Ideas?

heroku config:set NODE_MODULES_CACHE=false

git commit -am 'rebuild' --allow-empty

git push heroku master
