I am receiving this error during the deployment of my express/node app using App platform. Couldn’t figure what is the problem!
config.json:
{
"development": {
"username": "postgres",
"password": "10300",
"database": "weblogin",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"dialect": "postgres",
"logging": false
},
"test": {
"username": "root",
"password": null,
"database": "database_test",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"dialect": "mysql"
},
"production": {
"use_env_variable": "DATABASE_URL"
}
}

Hi there,
It sounds like the DATABASE_URL env variable is not defined. Have you added a bind variable to the app’s environment variables?
The variable should look as follows:
DATABASE_URL=${db.DATABASE_URL}
Best,
Bobby
