Trying to push my app to heroku gives me this error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/app/gettingstarted/media'

Question

While trying to push my app I get the follwing error

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: \'/app/gettingstarted/media\'

Answer 1

I think the issue here is that git doesn't track empty directories, they need to contain at least one file for git to "see" them, so although your media directory exists locally it doesn't exist on Heroku. A common way of handling this is to create an empty file called .keep in the directory.
