How To Fix Miscased Procfile in Heroku

Question

Heroku will not reload my corrected Procfile

I have ran git status which shows me the Procfile and I realized that I spelled Procfile with a lower case p. I saw the error and updated the file name in my project but when I saved and ran git status again it stills shows it lower case. Of course now its not showing the site on Heroku.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   procfile

remote: -----> Discovering process types
remote:
remote:  ~     Mis-cased procfile detected; ignoring.
remote:  ~     Rename it to Procfile to have it honored.
remote:
remote:        Procfile declares types -> (none)

Total newbie on my first project. Should I delete the project on Heroku and just start all over fresh or can I just do a git init and then just push everything up again to Heroku?

Answer 1

This worked for me,

• remove the Procfile from your working project directory
• in your command line

git add -A to add your changes to git, git commit -m "Removed Procfile", git push heroku master

• then, create the new Procfile with the right capitalization in your working project directory
• then add, commit, and push your code to Heroku. Done!
