socket.io + node.js on heroku

Question

I\'m having some issues in compiling a socket.io app on heroku.

Thats the app.js file

var app = require(\'express\').createServer()
   , io = require

WAAAAAAAIT A SECOND.

I noticed after I ran grep -R hiredis . that under the directory ./node_modules/socket.io/node_modules there appears the folder redis. Apparently, socket.io is now shipping with redis built in, which messes with Heroku.

Try fooling around with removing the redis folder from socket.io's node_modules folder. I solved the issue by removing socket.io altogether.
