I decided to write a simple bot for telegrams and put it on Heroka. I don’t really understand why the Procfile file isn’t added. It’s not in the jar or in the file lists. In IntelliJ I create a new file in the folder with classes, call it Procfile (without permission), I write the following there:

worker: sh target/bin/TGBot

My pom.xm:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd "> 4.0.0

 <groupId>TelegramTestBot</groupId> <artifactId>Bot</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>7</source> <target>7</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>appassembler-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.1.1</version> <configuration> <assembleDirectory>target</assembleDirectory> <programs> <program> <mainClass>Bot</mainClass> <name>TGBot</name> </program> </programs> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>assemble</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.telegram</groupId> <artifactId>telegrambots</artifactId> <version>3.6</version> </dependency> </dependencies>

Assembling is carried out using the mvn clean install command. Or do I worry in vain and it miraculously picks up this Procfile itself?

    You need to put the Procfile in the root of the project (near pom.xml). And insert the start command there, like this:

     web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT -jar target/project-name-1.0.jar

    After that you need to make a jar file with the command:

     mvn clean package

    It will create your * .jar file in the target.

    After that, if you created a project in heroku and logged in, then you need to run the command:

     git push heroku master

    And you have everything. You can check logs with the command

     heroku logs -t

      By account entries in Procfile

       web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT -jar target/project-name-1.0.jar

      As understood, it depends on how the bot works through Webhook or Long Polling and in the latter case the type of process should be: worker.
