Goodnight.
I have a project done in Python and Django and today I added one more Model Table and added a column manually and it worked in the development environment.
But when deploying to Heroku , Heroku cannot find this manually created column and returns this error "column does not exist" .
How do I manually add a column to the Heroku database?
Heroku cannot find this manually created column
Of course it can't. You created it on another database.
Manually modifying your database schema is a bad idea, especially if you're using a framework like Django that has database migrations built in. Modify your models and generate a migration with python manage.py makemigrations
, or create a migration manually. Test the migration and commit it when you're happy with it.
Then push do Heroku and run your migrations there by running heroku run python manage.py migrate
. Some users like to set this as a release task so it runs automatically.
