I would like to add a domain whatever.com to a heroku app that I collaborate on named whatever. When I type $ heroku domains it gives ! App not found.
How can I set the app I want to use, and then have it use $ heroku domains:add whatever.com?
Make sure you're in a directory that is linked to a herkou app if you want to issue commands without specifying an app name. Alternatively, you can add the --app= parameter to your command to explicitly specify the app you want the heroku command to run on.
$ heroku domains:add whatever.com --app=whatever

When I try to disable static files on Heroku it keeps linking to a previous project. However, I deleted all my Heroku projects so there are none in my account.
How is this possible and how do I fix it? The heroku CLI seems to be trying to find vast-depths-55781 but the project I just created is immense-ridge-40969:
Heroku determines which app it should use based on your configured Git remotes.
Run git remote -v to see which ones you have set up; I suspect you'll see one pointing to vast-depths-59781. Remove it by its name, e.g.
git remote remove heroku
You could manually add a remote for your new app (or have just changed the previous one's URL), but Heroku provides a dedicated command for setting this up:
heroku git:remote --app immense-ridge-40969
Now heroku commands should default to the new app in that folder. (You can always provide the --app argument to tell heroku to operate against a different app if you wish.)
I am new to Heroku and I keep getting the above error - everything looks good to go when I deploy in heroku, connect to my github repo etc.. but I keep getting this error.
Its a node/express app and works exactly as I'd like locally but it won't deploy. Any help would be appreciated.
For getting logs of particular heroku app, use:
heroku logs --app=app_name
For example: your app name is 'chatapp'
heroku logs -app=chatapp
just run the command with the --app flag, followed by the app name.
I like how the --app flag is "mandatory" according to the official documentation, but the lone usage example in the official documentation doesn't use the --app flag.
Anyway, it's not really mandatory. It's just implicit, usually. You have to tell Heroku which app you're using, with something like:
$ heroku git:remote -a your_app_name
and then it stops wondering which app to run these commands on.
you did not set git remote to your application, do that first by,
heroku git:remote -a your_app_name
To expand a little further on this (just for the benefit of other new users encountering a similar issue) - below is an example of a command you could enter in macOS Terminal:
heroku logs --tail --app yourexampleservername
If you have deployed yourexampleservername to Heroku, this should then display a log.
Using the heroku docker:release command, how can I specify which app to release to? I can't see from any documentation whether there's any switch for this purpose.
Heroku commands take their context from the directory you are in when you run them.
Go into the directory from where you did heroku create then run heroku docker:release.
If you haven't used heroku create, then you can specify the app name with the --app <APP NAME> command line parameter. for instance, if you were to release to the app named f00 you would type:
heroku docker:release --app f00
I've an existing project that works fine on another machine, but I've just upgraded and from within the project development directory, everytime I run a heroku command I have to post-fix it with --app
I feel like I've missed an application setup stage, but I can't figure out what, as everytime it states:
Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP.
Help appreciated.
You can solve this by adding the Heroku app to your .git/config folder.
If you are in the root of your project, run the following command:
git remote add heroku git#heroku.com:appname.git
This will set a line in your .git/config file which the heroku command line tool uses to figure out what app you're using :)
In other words, your local repo doesn't have Heroku app URL configured against an app name
Similarly what we do with git remote add ( we pass git URL as a destination for push/pulling of code )
that how our git know which repo/URL to hit (push/pull from )
Heroku also follows the same method/process.
All you have to do is add Heroku app URL (so that ur Heroku command have a reference for app URL )
it will know against which URL you are running your command against
To confirm if remote named Heroku has been set for your app:
git remote -v
if not configured or if you want it for an existing app
heroku git:remote -a app_name
it's a way to link your folder to the Heroku app
The Heroku recommended way:
heroku git:remote -a my-heroku-app-id -r what-i-want-to-call-it
Source: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git
Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app APP
The other answers address the first part of that statement, it is perfectly acceptable to run heroku commands in any directory. For example I have a customer facing front end project /front-end and a rails based /back-end project. I often work in the /front-end directory and if I have to connect to the production database I'll run heroku run rails c -a back-end. After I exit irb then I'm back in my desired directory.
Heroku's documentation on CLI says to do this (link):
If you have multiple heroku remotes or want to execute an app command outside of a local working copy, you can specify an explicit app name, domain, or git remote as follows:
$ heroku info --app myapp
$ heroku info --app www.example.com
$ heroku info --remote staging
However, I'm unable to get that second one to work. This is what I get:
$ heroku info --app foo
=== foo
[...]
$ heroku domains --app foo
Domain names for foo.herokuapp.com:
foo.example.com
$ heroku info --app foo.example.com
! Resource not found
At the very least, the documentation seems incorrect. But is it possible to reference an app by one of its custom domains another way?
Thanks!
Yep, I concur that - using the latest Heroku CLI all the methods work except using the domain name. Is there a particular reason why you want to use that way if the other ways work for you?
