I have created an new asp.net core project and it runs on locally but fails when deployed to heroku. Please see this issue and help me understand this problem. What's causing this issue

@AbhimanyuAryan, could you post both the project.json contents here? Or better yet if possible could you upload both projects to Github and share the link?

@AbhimanyuAryan, by default, the CLI uses the folder name as the output assembly name. When deploying the Heroku, it looks like it's checking out the application in a randomly named directory: log : Restoring packages for /tmp/tmp.d4Qf6iTUHZ/app/project.json...

Try specifying the outputName in your project.json:

{
  "buildOptions": {
    "outputName": "ivdstudios"
     ...
  }

@AbhimanyuAryan can you let us know if this worked for you? Thanks!

To add to this, updating to the csproj should also solve this issue. The default value for the project name is inferred from the project file name (MyApp.csproj) and not the directory. You have the ability to change this value using AssemblyName, but where project is checked out shouldn't affect your output binary name.

@Eilon no I still can't figure out. @pranavkm I'm have a .csproj project. What do you think should I add here?

<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.0</TargetFramework>
    
  </PropertyGroup>
  
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore" Version="1.0.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" Version="1.0.2" />

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug" Version="1.0.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink" Version="1.0.1" />
  </ItemGroup>
  
  
</Project>

@AbhimanyuAryan can you share your full updated app on GitHub, plus also what current error(s) or behavior(s) you're getting?

@AbhimanyuAryan feel free to reopen this work item once you have a repro we could try somewhere. It's difficult to determine much from the details you've provided.
