Digital ocean app platform enviroment variable not working during building

Posted on September 14, 2022

Hello, I was following the Django deployment tutorial (https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/app-deploy-django-app/) and it says to set the enviroment variables to distinguish between dev and prod enviroment and to save the database settings, I have done that but when I run the building I get this error Exception: DATABASE_URL environment variable not defined

How can I fix that?
