Heroku Documentation needs updating/fixing.

The Heroku deployment documentation is minimal, but that isn’t necessarily a problem. The problem is that it doesn’t work, and Heroku doesn’t tell me why.

When I go to git push heroku master I get:

remote: -----> App not compatible with buildpack: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python
remote:        More info: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#detection-failure
remote:
remote:  !     Push failed

The heroku-buildpack-python docs are also fairly sparse but do mention:

A Pipfile or requirements.txt must be present at the root of your application’s repository.

Neither of which is, with cookiecutter-django. I tried touching one, but that didn’t solve the issue (same bug) suggesting this might not be the cause.

Either way, the Heroku docs might need a little work if there are more steps involved in deploying to Heroku that have become necessary since those docs were written.

Thanks!

I did not run

heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_AWS_ID_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE
heroku config:set DJANGO_AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=YOUR_AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME_HERE

heroku config:set DJANGO_MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME=YOUR_MALGUN_SERVER
heroku config:set DJANGO_MAILGUN_API_KEY=YOUR_MAILGUN_API_KEY
heroku config:set MAILGUN_SENDER_DOMAIN=YOUR_MAILGUN_SENDER_DOMAIN

heroku config:set PYTHONHASHSEED=random
heroku config:set DJANGO_ADMIN_URL=\^somelocation/

But I have a hard time imagining not running those commands would cause this error.

@zfrenchee I have tested the entire process of generating and deploying the project from scratch, and everything works as it should.

please, generate your project from again

I recorded all the steps I took to make deploy:

That’s because the requirements files for different env (local/production) are inside the requirements folder. Try fixing the path should help.
