Heroku build error: Specified 'sqlite3' for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded


What I'm trying to do

I'm building an app with rails and deploying a non master branch to heroku master test the app in production. I didn't want to mess with master until I know what I'm doing on Heroku, therefore I deployed a feature branch.

The repository of the app can be found here if the refernce is needed.

After any change to the gemfile I ran:

bundle update
bundle install
git add .
git commit
git push heroku 0007/heroku:master

The last command is documented here and used to push a non-master branch to herokus master. Usually this is done because you don't want to mess with master. I also asked about this a while back.The question how to set non-master up for heroku can be found here.

I adjusted database.yml to fit Heroku requirements with postgresql and sqlite3.

default: &default
  adapter: sqlite3
  pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
  timeout: 5000

development:
  <<: *default
  database: db/development.sqlite3

test:
  <<: *default
  database: db/test.sqlite3

production:
  <<: *default
  database: db/production.sqlite3

My gemfile is also pretty straight foreward:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

git_source(:github) do |repo_name|
  repo_name = "#{repo_name}/#{repo_name}" unless repo_name.include?("/")
  "https://github.com/#{repo_name}.git"
end

The problem

After testing my app locally I decided to push it to Heroku, however I'm not able to resolve a dependancy conflict.

The suspected error:

Specified 'sqlite3' for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded. Add gem 'sqlite3' to your Gemfile

I know this issue has been documented on many posts. I combed through them to find what I had missed but to no avail.

These are the posts I found on this issue:

They all basically say, look out that you set up postgresql as production and sqlite3 as development database or set your project up with postgres from the get go.

As far as I can tell I have this covered.

I set my gemfile to use pg as production database, and sqlite3 as development database, as mentioned here, and here.

My gemfile does not seem to have any production deps for sqlite.

The problems started to show when trying to run $ heroku run rake db:migrate.

This is the produced trail from heroku:

Solution

  • SQLite does not work with Heroku as its disk based and Heroku uses an ephemeral file system.

    SQLite runs in memory, and backs up its data store in files on disk. While this strategy works well for development, Heroku’s Cedar stack has an ephemeral filesystem. You can write to it, and you can read from it, but the contents will be cleared periodically. If you were to use SQLite on Heroku, you would lose your entire database at least once every 24 hours.

    Even if Heroku’s disks were persistent running SQLite would still not be a good fit. Since SQLite does not run as a service, each dyno would run a separate running copy. Each of these copies need their own disk backed store. This would mean that each dyno powering your app would have a different set of data since the disks are not synchronized.

    -Heroku Devcenter: SQLite on Heroku

    Heroku provides Postgres as the free default database for rails which is as close to a recommendation as you can get.

    If you are deploying to Postgres you should also be developing/testing on Postgres.

    Differences between backing services mean that tiny incompatibilities crop up, causing code that worked and passed tests in development or staging to fail in production. These types of errors create friction that disincentivizes continuous deployment. The cost of this friction and the subsequent dampening of continuous deployment is extremely high when considered in aggregate over the lifetime of an application.

    If you really want to stick with SQLite you need to configure the adapters properly:

    default: &default
      adapter: sqlite3
      pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
      timeout: 5000
    
    development:
      <<: *default
      database: db/development.sqlite3
    
    test:
      <<: *default
      database: db/test.sqlite3
    
    production:
      adapter: postgresql
      # nothing else is needed
    

    I do not recommend this.
