What is the reason for “Procfile declares types -> (none)” in Heroku?

Question

I am trying to deploy a test app to Heroku --stack cedar but every time I do my Procfile is being ignored.

It should be saying this:

Procfile declare         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem deploying a Django app to Heroku.

• the git repository has to be initialised in the Django project root folder (where manage.py lives)
• this is also where the Procfile needs to sit

File structure:

Documents/
|---djangoprojectname/
|   |---djangoprojectname/
|   |   |---__init__.py
|   |   |---settings.py
|   |   |---urls.py
|   |   |---wsgi.py
|   |---djangoappname/
|   |---.git
|   |---manage.py
|   |---Procfile

The Procfile should look like this as per the docs:

web: gunicorn djangoprojectname.wsgi
