I'm trying to get hypnotoad with a Mojolicious::Lite app running on Heroku with Perloku. There's something that doesn't happen when hypnotoad gets into its run loop that causes it to crash. I figure I'm missing something simple, but the Heroku docs haven't helped and I haven't been able to coax good error messages out of this.
I start with a very simple application so show some environment variables:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
# today
use Mojolicious::Lite;
get '/' => sub {
my $c = shift;
my $content = "Perl: $^X Pid: $$\n\n";
foreach my $key ( keys %ENV ) {
next unless $key =~ /Mojo|toad/i;
$content .= "$key $ENV{$key}\n";
}
$c->stash( content => $content );
$c->render('index');
};
app->start;

When I run this locally, I have no problem. I see from the environment variables that my program is run under hypnotoad:
Welcome to the Mojolicious real-time web framework!

HYPNOTOAD_APP /Users/brian/Desktop/toady.d/toady
MOJO_MODE production

HYPNOTOAD_STOP
HYPNOTOAD_FOREGROUND
Now, I deploy this with Mojolicious::Command::deploy::heroku:
% toady deploy heroku --create
This is running at https://frozen-brushlands-4002.herokuapp.com, using the default Perloku file:
#!/bin/sh
./toady daemon --listen http://*:$PORT --mode production
This isn't running hypnotoad though, despite some references I've seen that says that's what I should get. The application works, though:
Welcome to the Mojolicious real-time web framework!

MOJO_REUSE 0.0.0.0:12270:4

I figured I could just change the Perloku file to start hypnotoad:
#!/bin/sh
/app/vendor/perl/bin/perl /app/vendor/perl-deps/bin/hypnotoad toady
hypnotoad starts and almost immediately shuts down with no other log messages:
% heroku logs --app ...

2015-01-04T09:23:38.321628+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed
I can change the invocation to use the -t to test the app to see if :
#!/bin/sh
/app/vendor/perl/bin/perl /app/vendor/perl-deps/bin/hypnotoad -t toady
That works and I get the "Everything looks good!" message, so hypnotoad is running:
2015-01-04T09:36:36.955680+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `./Perloku`

2015-01-04T09:36:39.085887+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed
I turn on Mojo debug logging, but I don't see additional output other than my own statements.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;
$|++;
my $log = app->log;
$log->level( 'debug' );
$log->debug( "INC: @INC" );
get '/' => sub {
...;
};
$log->debug( "Right before start" );
my $app = app->start;
$log->debug( "Right after start" );
$app; # must return application object
I tried other things, such as making it load a module I know is not there and I get the expected "Could not find" error in the logs.
Running from the shell in heroku (heroku run bash) was not illuminating. The output of mojo version is the same as on my local machine:
$ perl vendor/perl-deps/bin/mojo version
CORE
Perl (v5.16.2, linux)
Mojolicious (5.71, Tiger Face)
OPTIONAL
EV 4.0+ (n/a)
IO::Socket::Socks 0.64+ (n/a)
IO::Socket::SSL 1.84+ (n/a)
Net::DNS::Native 0.15+ (n/a)
You might want to update your Mojolicious to 5.72.
I figure there's something really simple that I'm missing, but at the same time, none of this is architected for easy debugging.
Oleg gets a little closer, but there are still problems. I had tried the foreground option before and run into the same problems but failed to mention it.
If I start hypnotoad in the foreground, it tries to bind to an address. It can't bind to port 80 (or 443) and crashes, and it can listen to 127.0.0.1: almost, but it looks like it fails to completely listen:

This is really just a wild guess, but maybe the heroku infrastructure doesn't expect the runner to terminate? If so, you could try to start hypnotoad with --foreground or -f.
Also, you could try to do some logging from inside the application to see if it ever runs it at all.

Oleg answers the question, but there are some pieces missing in the assumptions.
First, create a new heroku app and remember the name of the app:
$ heroku create
Creating vast-spire-6174... done, stack is cedar-14
https://vast-spire-6174.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/vast-spire-6174.git
Next, add the Perloku build pack:
$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/judofyr/perloku.git
Create the git repo and setup on Heroku:
$ mkdir testapp
$ cd testapp
$ git init
$ heroku git:remote -a vast-spire-6174
To make everything work, you need a Perloku file to start hypnotoad in the foreground. You have to specify perl explicity because the shebang line in hypnotoad refers to the temp location of perl when it was built and where it no longer is. Change myapp.pl to whatever you named your application.
#!/bin/sh
/app/vendor/perl/bin/perl /app/vendor/perl-deps/bin/hypnotoad -f myapp.pl
To get everything installed, you use a standard Makefile.PL. Specify Mojolicious as one of the prerequisites:
use strict;
use warnings;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
VERSION => '0.01',
PREREQ_PM => {'Mojolicious' => '5.72'},
test => {TESTS => 't/*.t'}
);
Finally, the app itself, which you can create with mojo (which calls is myapp.ppl)
$ mojo generate lite_app
Here's the generated source:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;
# Documentation browser under "/perldoc"
plugin 'PODRenderer';
get '/' => sub {
my $c = shift;
$c->render('index');
};
app->start;

You have to modify the basic program since hypnotoad needs a bit of configuration (where the default server does not):
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;
# Documentation browser under "/perldoc"
plugin 'PODRenderer';
plugin Config => {
default => {
hypnotoad => {
listen => ["http://*:$ENV{PORT}"]
}
}
};
get '/' => sub {
my $c = shift;
$c->render('index');
};
app->start;

Once you have all the files, commit them, and push to the heroku branch.
$ git add .
$ git commit -am "make it better"
$ git push heroku master

The URL of your application shows up toward the end of the output.
Why this was working for me before I don't know. I was letting a mojo command deploy for me, so there could be something to investigate there. However, it's a bit easier to commit and push without the intermediary.
