Problem when trying to create a digital ocean app from gitlab source

Question

I am trying to create an app in digital ocean using source code from gitlab and I get the error "no detected components". Any ideas?

Answer 1

Got the same error for my django project, and this was because I did not create the file requirements.txt. So, if your App project is in python and you use Poetry for dependency management, you should run the command

poetry export --without-hashes --format=requirements.txt > requirements.txt

Then commit and pust to your repo again. Then it would work.
