Taps error exporting DB to Heroku


A lot of time after searching and trying some things I noticed that I didn't add the database addon. (Heroku states that every application comes with database so I didn't figure out I had to activate the addon)

A simple:

heroku addons:add shared-database

Solved everything.

Hope it helps anyone


Assuming you've added a database and you're still having this problem make sure you have at least 1 Dyno running and you've promoted your database.

To promote a database, first get the name of it by running:

heroku pg

It will be called something like HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR_URL, then just promote it:

heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR_URL

This will allow you to access that database via the DATABASE_URL environment variable, which is what the db:push command uses to push to.
