Foreman says unexpected EOF in web.1 file - but my node app has no web.1 file

Question

i followed the tutorial at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs to get a node app up and running in heroku

but after running foreman start, it says

$ foreman start
07:50:11 web.1  | started with pid 3041
07:50:11 web.1  | sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
07:50:11 web.1  | sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
07:50:11 web.1  | exited with code 2
07:50:11 system | sending SIGTERM to all processes
SIGTERM received
$

where is this web.1 file coming from ????

i also ran the following:

$ foreman check
valid procfile detected (web)
$

Answer 1

I have just answered this question here. foreman says "unexpected EOF" in one of the SAME node app in 2 different places Essentially, you can't have any apostrophes in your file path. (You actually have to rename you folders so they don't contain apostrophes.) It's a bug in foreman. I'll take doubt credit for answering your double post, though. :) I need to get over 50 reputation so I can start making comments!

It does not say web.1 file exists, it is a message about web process, which is read from your Procfile. Your Procfile should be similar to:

web: node app.js
