Question

I am working to deploy my rails app. Everything in running in local environment but I am having some issues making my first push to heroku. I am getting the standard app error, see pic:

when i run the command heroku logs --tail, i get the following error:

my gemfile is as so:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

  gem 'byebug'
end

group :development do
  gem 'sqlite3'

  group :production do

First of all, to get the log error to work correctly also pass a flag for your app name as well:

heroku logs --tail --app my_heroku_app_name

Also, it seems you have nested gem groups. I am assuming you are using postgresql as your database for production so I would recommend to move pg out of development>production group like so:

gem 'pg'

group :development do
  gem 'sqlite3'

  # Access an IRB console on exception pages or by using <%= console %> in views
  gem 'web-console', '~> 2.0'
end

Then run

bundle install

Lastly, try pushing to heroku again with

git push heroku master
