Subtrees

[cerico]

Is it possible to get this working with subtrees. Currently it requires the app.json to be at the toplevel but im looking to push a client app one level down

@cerico I'm a little confused, do you mean pipelines or review apps?

[cerico]

thanks @gudmundur, I think its both! Its in Review Apps, but its also if i 'deploy a branch' from the pipelines view. its fine when running through CircleCi as a 'git subtree push' but im not sure how to tell the pipelines (or review apps) that it should be a subtree

i set an app up here, for testing this out

Alright, I think this buildpack might help you out, https://github.com/lstoll/heroku-buildpack-monorepo. It's written by a few people working at Heroku and I know it's being used for a few of our services. Can you give it a try?

I don't think it'll work for multiple review apps, as we rely on the app.json being in the repository root. But the example repository you have should work just fine.
