Question

I am suffering from the infamous SQLite3 Vs Heroku error while trying to deploy a simple Rails app.

Initially my Gemfile looked like

gem 'sqlite3'
...

After googling on the topic, I updated it to look like this:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'sqlite3'
end
...

and then did a bundle install and surprisingly (at least for me),

$ git status --short 
M Gemfile

The Gemfile.lock did NOT change!

Now heroku keeps giving this SQLite error again and again because
the Gemfile.lock is same as before and bundle install keeps failing
on their server!

Where am I going wrong?

Damn! It was a git issue.
I was working on a branch named ‘deploy’ and trying to push the ‘master’ branch and hence bundle install failed every time!

$git push heroku deploy:master

This made it work 🙂
