I’m hitting a snag while trying to get my Discord bot up and running on Heroku. The deployment keeps failing with an error message saying the app isn’t compatible with the Python buildpack. Here’s what I’ve got:
A Procfile
requirements.txt (just lists ‘discord’)
runtime.txt (specifies python-3.10.3)
But I still get this error:
-----> Building on the Heroku-20 stack
-----> Using buildpack: heroku/python
-----> App not compatible with buildpack: heroku/python
More info: Heroku buildpack detection failure
! Push failed
I’m stumped. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it? Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t figure out why Heroku thinks my app isn’t compatible with the Python buildpack. Help would be much appreciated!
hmm, sounds tricky. have u tried checkin ur project structure? make sure ur main python file is in the root dir. also, double-check ur Procfile. it should be like ‘worker: python bot.py’. if it still fails, addin ‘gunicorn’ in ur requirements. good luck!
I encountered a similar issue when deploying my Discord bot. Have you verified your git repository structure? Ensure your main Python file, Procfile, requirements.txt, and runtime.txt are all in the root directory. Also, check if you’ve committed all changes before pushing to Heroku.
Another potential issue could be with your requirements.txt. Make sure it includes ‘discord.py’ instead of just ‘discord’, and list all other dependencies your bot uses. Sometimes, adding ‘pip’ to the requirements can help.
If the problem persists, try running ‘heroku logs --tail’ after a failed deployment. This often provides more detailed error messages that can point you in the right direction for troubleshooting. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Heroku support if you’re still stuck - they’re usually quite helpful with these kinds of deployment issues.
I’ve been through this exact issue before with my Discord bot. The problem might be in your requirements.txt file. Make sure it includes all necessary dependencies, not just ‘discord’. You should add ‘discord.py’ instead, and any other libraries your bot uses. Also, check if your main Python file has a .py extension - I once spent hours debugging only to realize I’d accidentally saved it as a .txt!
Another thing to try is updating your runtime.txt to a more recent Python version, like python-3.11.0. Heroku can be picky about versions sometimes.
If none of that works, try creating a fresh Heroku app and pushing your code to it. Sometimes Heroku’s build cache can cause weird issues. Hope this helps you get your bot up and running!
