App not compatible with buildpack - Heroku

Question

When I run git push heroku master this is what I get:

C:\Users\Emanuele-PC\Desktop\project-mm-beta>git push heroku master Counting objects: 3, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done. Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 505 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: Compressing source files... done. remote: Building source: remote: remote: -----> App not compatible with buildpack: https://codon-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/heroku/python.tgz remote:        More info: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#detection-failure remote: remote:  !     Push failed remote: Verifying deploy... remote: remote: !       Push rejected to project-mm-beta. remote: To https://git.heroku.com/project-mm-beta.git  ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/project-mm-beta.git' 

The code I am trying to deploy is just one file (it's a test because it's my first time using Heroku) and it's written in Python. I have already set the buildpack (python) but it still doesn't work. How can I solve?

Answer 1

The Heroku Python Support will be applied to applications only when the application has a Pipfile or requirements.txt in the root directory.

Visit the documentation to get detailed instructions.

Answer 2

I just found out... It's quite a silly issue. Make sure the git repo is initialized within the project root folder. Suppose the project is a Django app and the project folder created by Django is my-project, the git repo needs to be initialized right within my-project for Heroku to work...
