CoffeeScript fails to run from copied directory

In one directory I have a CoffeeScript application that runs fine when I type "foreman start."

In another directory I copied everything from that directory and typed "foreman start" again. But it doesn't run. Instead I get this error.

I don't get it. The 2 directories should be exactly the same. How can this be happening?

I suspect this part shows us the problem:

/Users/cypher/git/heroku/falling-lightning-4940/node_modules/.bin/package.json

Most copying methods won't copy files/directories that being with a .. It is likely that the .bin directory is missing in the copy.
