Addition of Heroku custom buildpack has no effect

I am trying to make graphviz usable on Heroku, Python by adding repo from here https://github.com/mfenniak/heroku-buildpack-python-graphviz

heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git

But when I push:

git push heroku master

    Fetching repository, done.
    Everything up-to-date

It looks like I did nothing at all. Am I doing it wrong?

Solution

  • This is failing because you haven't yet pushed new code -- if you add a new buildpack, you must push NEW code to your Heroku app in order for the new buildpack to be triggered.

    To 'get around' this, just add a readme to your project, or change some whitespace -- then make a commit and push to Heroku.
