Chatterbot Django and Heroku (Issues Running Example)

I've had a couple of issues now and I've nearly got the Chatterbot example working for Django running on Heroku.

Here is my example page. https://polar-basin-92507.herokuapp.com/

looking at the log the issue seems to be

OperationalError: no such table: django_chatterbot_statement

Full log https://hastebin.com/mucanobuki.sql

git source https://github.com/gunthercox/ChatterBot/tree/master/examples/django_app/example_app

From what I can tell their example was setup to use sqlite3 but heroku doesn't support that and that I need to somehow switch it over to postgres? Not sure and this is where I'd like some guidance.

Solution

  • You need to setup Postgresql in heroku. Just add these lines in your settings.py file found here

    import dj_database_url
db_from_env = dj_database_url.config()
DATABASES['default'].update(db_from_env)
