Heroku Deployment

Heroku deployment steps

getting the heroku repo:

• run: heroku git:clone -a multi-meet
• this clones into a new directory (separate from your existing MultiMeet directory)
• so use this new directory for pushing to heroku

pushing new changes

• if don’t have ref to origin: run git remote add origin https://github.com/Aakup/MultiMeet
• run git pull origin master, then git push heroku master
• remember to run heroku rake db:migrate
• safest option: reset database heroku pg:reset DATABASE (drops database)
  • then run heroku rake db:migrate and heroku rake db:seed

issues and fixes for deploying on heroku

issue:

• git push heroku master -> unpushed refs solution:
• do: git pull heroku master, resolve merge conflict
• OR force push

issue:

• column missing solution:
• heroku pg:reset DATABASE (does db:drop for you)
• heroku db:migrate

issue:

• undefined method of model even if migration ran solution:
• heroku restart
