Heroku doesn't see my changes after git push

Question

I am trying to deploy a new version of my app to heroku and although running it locally works, I can't see any change after I do the following:

git push heroku master

and then

heroku run rake db:migrate

There seems to be no effect. It's strange because without a model change I was able to deploy changes with just the git push command. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

It sounds as if you might be not commiting your changes to Github first.

git add .

git commit -m "commit details here"

git push origin master

THEN

git push heroku master

Answer 2

If you're pushing and then migrating you then need to do

heroku restart

to have your application recache the DB schema.

Answer 3

I had the same issue and posted what worked for me in response to others' similar issues:

$git push heroku master - no error messages but changes not displaying on web app

git push heroku master says "Everything up-to-date", but the app is not current
