Development

1. Clone repository

clone <repo> .

2. Update config.py file with your informations

3. Install dependencies app:

pipenv shell && pipenv install

4. Launch server using gunicorn

gunicorn app:app

Deployment

1. Create a repository on Heroku

heroku create <app_name>

2. Add a Buildpack for Heroku (replace <app_name> by your app name)

heroku buildpacks:set heroku/python -a <app_name>
heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/pyronlaboratory/heroku-integrated-firefox-geckodriver 

3. To use the second buildpack (geckodriver) you'll need to downgrade to heroku-20 stack

heroku stack:set heroku-20 -a <app name>

3. Add the need varibles to the PATH in Heroku

heroku config:set FIREFOX_BIN=/app/vendor/firefox/firefox GECKODRIVER_PATH=/app/vendor/geckodriver/geckodriver LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib:/app/vendor PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/app/vendor/

3. Push code to heroku using git

git init
heroku git:remote -a <app_name>
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"
git push -u heroku master # or if you are working on another branch: `git push heroku <branch_name>:master`

4. Launch flask web app (dyno) on Heroku

heroku ps:scale web=1 # This will launch the "web" line script of the `Procfile` file

5. Visit the app:

heroku info -s | grep web_url | cut -d= -f2 
# And click the link ;)

If the app is not working properly after you followd the previous steps:

• Check logs: heroku logs --tail
• Run Heroku CLI (to list files etc.): heroku run bash (close it with exit)

Tips

• Redeploy Heroku app without code changes:

git commit --allow-empty -m "Redeploy app on heroku"
git push heroku master
