Heroku Deployment Woes

baroldgene

I’m attempting to deploy a bare-bones elixir app to Heroku. I keep getting the following error: `** (EXIT from pid<0.74.0>) an exception was raised:

    ** (ArgumentError) supervisors expect the child to be a module, a {module, arg} tuple or a map with the child specification, got: {DBConnection.ConnectionPool, {Ecto.Repo.Supervisor, :start_child, [{DBConnection.ConnectionPool, :start_link, [{Postgrex.Protocol, [types: Postgrex.DefaultTypes, hostname: "localhost", port: 5432, repo: StarlinkConnector.Repo, telemetry_prefix: [:starlink_connector, :repo], otp_app: :starlink_connector, timeout: 15000, database: "starlink_connector_prod", pool_size: 2, pool: DBConnection.ConnectionPool]}]}, Ecto.Adapters.Postgres, #Reference<0.115686411.3922591746.186642>, %{opts: [timeout: 15000, pool_size: 2, pool: DBConnection.ConnectionPool], sql: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres.Connection, telemetry: {StarlinkConnector.Repo, :debug, [], [:starlink_connector, :repo, :query]}}]}, :permanent, 5000, :worker, [DBConnection.ConnectionPool]}

I’ve added the build packs for both Elixir and Phoenix and specified my elixir version to be 1.7.x in both the mix.exs file and the elixir_buildpack.config. When I run heroku run "mix --version" though I get the following:

Running mix --version on ⬢ xxxxxxxxxxxx... up, run.8452 (Free)
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Mix 1.5.0

From googling I feel like Elixir 1.5 won’t actually work for what I’m doing but it seems Heroku is intent on using that for the project?

Please tell us exactly how you specified the version.

In mix.exs:

def project do
    [
      app: :my_app,
      version: "0.1.0",
      elixir: "~> 1.7",
      elixirc_paths: elixirc_paths(Mix.env()),
      compilers: [:phoenix, :gettext] ++ Mix.compilers(),
      start_permanent: Mix.env() == :prod,
      aliases: aliases(),
      deps: deps()
    ]
  end

And in elixir_buildpack.config:

always_rebuild=false
erlang_version=20.1
elixir_version=1.7.2
runtime_path=/app

Hmmm, what buildpack are you using and how did you set it?

try and flip the always_rebuild=false to true - so you get a (re!)build with the changes made to elixir_buildpack..

=== floating-dawn-11111 Buildpack URLs
1. https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git
2. https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static.git

Set both via the CLI and in the Pipeline interface on Heroku.

The really strange thing is that during the build it says Elixir 1.7.2, but when trying to run mix commands (or start the app) it won’t work with an error innate to Elixir 1.5 and specifies Elixir 1.5 when running the command I linked above.

you are checking the mix version heroku run "mix --version" try and check the elixir version heroku run "elixir --version"

does your app run correctly in dev with the same erlang/elixir version?
(eg try and bump elixir to 1.7.4.. think there was some incompatibilities recently against specific early 1.7.x versions..)

(and make sure to have always_rebuild=true when debugging heroku builds..)

If mix --version differs from elixir --version something even worse is going wrong.

Post #8

outlog

oh yeah, my bad(didn’t know mix follow elixir versioning.. ) but definitely use always_rebuild=true which should pick up the specified elixir version then..

Yes everything runs fine locally. Again, this is just the base phx.new app, I haven’t done anything other than things to try to get it working on Heroku.

The actual error seems to have something to do with Ecto.

(ArgumentError) supervisors expect the child to be a module, a {module, arg} tuple or a map with the child specification, got: {DBConnection.ConnectionPool, {Ecto.Repo.Supervisor, :start_child, [{DBConnection.ConnectionPool, :start_link, [{Postgrex.Protocol, [types: Postgrex.DefaultTypes, hostname: "localhost", port: 5432, repo: StarlinkConnector.Repo, telemetry_prefix: [:starlink_connector, :repo], otp_app: :starlink_connector, timeout: 15000, database: "starlink_connector_prod", pool_size: 15, pool: DBConnection.ConnectionPool]}]}, Ecto.Adapters.Postgres, #Reference<0.1314834767.3961389057.13396>, %{opts: [timeout: 15000, pool_size: 15, pool: DBConnection.ConnectionPool], sql: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres.Connection, telemetry: {StarlinkConnector.Repo, :debug, [], [:starlink_connector, :repo, :query]}}]}, :permanent, 5000, :worker, [DBConnection.ConnectionPool]}
