I tried to start my discord bot via heroku and it didn't start, when i checked the logs it gave me this response

To me it seems like it tries to start the index.js file through the filepath /app/index.js but the file is not located in /app/index.js but instead just /index.js and I never even entered anything about the /app filepath anywhere so I dont know why it does this
Edit: I realised that the logs didnt show anything useful ton search because I entered the logs too late and if I entered them earlier I would see more info about the error. Heres what it said earlier

The issue is probably located in the package.json file because there is a field called main there which defines where your main file is located.
{
"name": "lhubot",
"version": "2.2.6",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
...
}
I found a answer myself, i wrote the wrong name for discord.js in require('discord.js'). I wrote "Discord.js" instead of "discord.js". Not sure why heroku found it as a problem but it was fine when i ran it on my own computer but that was the solution for me.
