 !     Failed to build app with sbt
 !     Heroku push rejected, failed to compile Play 2.0 - java app
       error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]'

I set my DATABASE_URL as environment variable using the following command: -

echo "export DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:1234@localhost/Play">>.bash_profile
 . .bash_profile

I tried to set another URL as well, which i found using command heroku config that i came to know is a big long postgres URL but it didn't work as well and same exception arising every time.

Here is what i have added in my application.conf file

%prod.db=${DATABASE_URL}

Dependency

val appDependencies = Seq(
   "postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.1-901.jdbc4"
)

So now i am confused about my DATABASE_URL. Why heroku is unable to substitue it with suitable value. Where does heroku looking for an appropriate URL? In my application.conf file or in environment variables set in my system's bash profile?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

    Do you see a DATABASE_URL value listed when you run heroku config? Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 2:55
  • @RyanDaigle Yeah i saw. I tried to use that URL as well but no luck. Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 3:27

It seems you are mixing some Play 1 and Play 2 conventions. It appears you are using Play 2. In Play 2 the easiest way to set this up is to not use DATABASE_URL in your application.conf and instead just override the database config in your Procfile:

web: target/start -Dhttp.port=$PORT -DapplyEvolutions.default=true -Ddb.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver -Ddb.default.url=$DATABASE_URL

For a more detailed walk-through see my Play 2 Tutorial.

Thanks i figured it out. Thank you so much for such a great tutorial. Its going to help me a lot.
i am having a strange issue while deploying my app on heroku. when i deployed it first time, everything works fine but when i deploy it second time, it was giving an Application error. I deleted the git, used heroku create again and redeployed it, first deploy - working fine but second deploy - again application error. I think my evolution doing something fishy here. Any idea what could be the reason?
I have updated my question with log content. It giving some warnings regarding evolution. This is my log at first deploy but on second deploy it does not contain more than 3 lines.
Make sure you have -DapplyEvolutions.default=true in your Procfile to automatically apply the database evolutions.
Instead of web: target/start ... it had to be web: target/universal/stage/bin/myApp ... for me to work.

Using play 2.4, Slick 3.0.3 & postgres in Heroku it works for me the following setup that runs my sql evolution scripts:

in build.sbt:

name := """app-name"""

and add the following in libraryDependencies ++= Seq(

"com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "1.0.1",
"com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick-evolutions" % "1.0.1",
"com.typesafe.slick" %% "slick" % "3.0.3",
"org.postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.4-1201-jdbc41",
"org.slf4j" % "slf4j-nop" % "1.6.4",

in application.conf:

slick.dbs.default.driver ="slick.driver.PostgresDriver$"
slick.dbs.default.db.dataSourceClass = "slick.jdbc.DatabaseUrlDataSource"
slick.dbs.default.db.properties.driver = "org.postgresql.Driver"

and in Procfile:

web: target/universal/stage/bin/app-name -Dhttp.port=${PORT} -Dplay.evolutions.db.default.autoApply=true

Cheers
