'AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'read_text' while building heroku app
I am getting AttributeError: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'read_text' when trying to deploy a django app to heroku. The problem occurs when pip is installing pathlib python library after running the git push heroku main command on the command line. Is there something I am doing wrong?
The following is the log generated on heroku, which is similar to what I saw on the command line:
