The requested file (go1.13.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz) is unknown to the buildpack when pushing golang web app to heroku?

I have created a golang REST API and am trying to deploy it to heroku. I've built it on windows 7.

I linked my github account to push my golang web app to heroku, but I am getting the following error:

The requested file (go1.13.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz) is unknown to the buildpack!

I am using dep to package my app. Here is the metadata i provide to heroku in my Gopkg.toml: 

[metadata.heroku]
  root-package = "restapitest"
  go-version = "go1.13.7"
  install = [ "./..." ]

My file project folder looks like this: 

C:\$GOPATH\src\API\RESTAPI\

                           Vendor\github.com\gorilla
                                             go-sql-driver
                           Gopkg.lock
                           Gopkg.toml
                           main.go
Solution

  • It appeared to be an issue with the version. Lowering it to 1.12.0 allowed successful deployment of the app.
