Heroku PostgreSQL connection problem

Trying to do something similar to #47 (connect to postgres database on heroku). I tried to set up my connection config with the host, user, password, and database name from the $DATABASE_URL environment variable.

I’ve tried both the EC2 url and the IP address as the host.

When I set up the model node and call save, the record should be saved to the database. When I connect to psql via heroku pg and query the users table it’s empty.

The example uses Bookshelf. Let me know if I should file the issue under that repo. Although my understanding is that the connection config just gets passed to Knex.

var Bookshelf = require( 'bookshelf' );

Bookshelf.PG = Bookshelf.initialize({
  client: 'pg',
  debug: true,
  connection: {
    host     : process.env.PG_HOST || 'localhost',
    user     : process.env.PG_USER || 'postgres',
    password : process.env.PG_PASSWORD || 'postgres',
    database : process.env.PG_DB || 'db',
    charset  : 'utf8'
  }
});

var User = Bookshelf.PG.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'users',
  idAttribute: 'id'
});

var u = User.forge({email: '[e-mail]', password: 'test'});
u.save();

I ended up here struggling with wierd connection errors on Heroku. My issue was that the connection string given by Heroku doesn’t have “?ssl=true” in the end even though Heroku requires it. This can be solved by “heroku config:set PGSSLMODE=require” which will tell the pg adapter to use SSL if the config doesn’t say anything about it. It could be the case that pg.Client and pg.connect doesn’t behave completely the same.

import knex, { Config } from "knex";
// @ts-ignore
import knexStringcase from "knex-stringcase";

import { db, isDev } from "../config";

const config = knexStringcase({
  debug: isDev,
  client: "pg",
  connection: {
    connectionString: db,
    ssl: {
      rejectUnauthorized: false,
    },
  },
  searchPath: ["public"],
  // pool: isDev ? { max: 4 } : { min: 4 },
  asyncStackTraces: true,
} as Config) as Config;

export default knex(config);
