(ArgumentError) missing :adapter configuration

New to Elixir, Phoenix and Heroku.

I set up a basic installation of Phoenix, following the instructions for Heroku deployment on the site. Hello world works on my localhost. When I try to push to Heroku, it compiles a lot of files, then gets stuck:

remote: Generated ecto app
remote: ==> phoenix_ecto
remote: Compiling 4 files (.ex)
remote: Generated phoenix_ecto app
remote: ==> heroku_test_02
remote: Compiling 12 files (.ex)
remote: 
remote: == Compilation error on file lib/heroku_test_02/repo.ex ==
remote: ** (ArgumentError) missing :adapter configuration in config :heroku_test_02, HerokuTest02.Repo
remote:     lib/ecto/repo/supervisor.ex:50: Ecto.Repo.Supervisor.compile_config/2
remote:     lib/heroku_test_02/repo.ex:2: (module)
remote:     (stdlib) erl_eval.erl:670: :erl_eval.do_apply/6

/lib/heroku_test_2/repo.ex looks like this:

defmodule HerokuTest02.Repo do
  use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :heroku_test_02
end

Any idea what I’m supposed to modify here?

I pushed this file to github in case that helps: https://github.com/markdev/herokutest2

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

You have a typo in your configuration [1], change HerokuTest02.Endpoint to HerokuTest02.Repo and you should be good to go.

Made the exact same mistake following the same tutorial. Thanks for the help!

You might want to put this directive in prod.secret.exs instead, up to you:

# Configure your database
config :my_app, Myapp.Repo,
  adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
  username: "****",
  password: "****",
  hostname: "****",
  database: "****_prod",
  pool_size: 15
