Update node js packages on geroku

Question

How can I tell Heroku about updating my node modules?

I tried to do

heroku run bash npm update <package> 

and then restarted the heroku application

 heroku restart -a <appname> 

But I do not see the changes, I inserted the same commands locally, and it worked. Ideas?

try:

heroku config:set NODEMODULESCACHE=false

git commit -am 'rebuild' --allow-empty

git push heroku master
