hello.
My project is using phoenix with absinthe as backend server.
I am trying to heroku using this guide

I added these two build packs

1. https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git
2. https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static.git

And tried to deploy with

git push heroku mastter

But I got this error

Detecting assets directory

remote:  !     Push rejected, failed to compile Phoenix app.
remote: 
remote:  !     Push failed

I think this is because of that I don’t have assets directory.
What can I do? I need to do custom build packs?

I don’t think you’ll need the heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static buildpack if your app doesn’t have any assets. Try removing that and deploying.

Thanks!
I just removed phoenix static build pack and added Procfile with

web: mix phx.server
