Steps taken prior to this launch

  1. Git add and git commit everything on master. If you have branches that are ready, they should be merged into the master branch.
  2. Push the master branch back to GitHub. The code that is committed and pushed to GitHub is the code that will be launched.

Launching your app to Heroku

  1. Your teacher will clone your repo from GitHub.
  2. Your teacher will run heroku create name-of-app and the app will be created. Write down the entire domain of the new app.
  3. If Google Auth is set up, go back to the Google developer's console and add the new domain + '/authenticated' as an Authorized redirect URI. Download your client_secrets.json file after you updated your account (it changes after you add another redirect URI).
    • NOTE: you must hit Save after you add the new URI, and if it doesn't redirect you out of the redirect URI screen when you hit Save, it isn't really saved.
  4. Push your repo to Heroku. git push heroku master

Why does this work? Because your teacher added heroku as a remote repository, just like GitHub is a remote repository. So now that it is created, you can push.

  1. Set environmental variable for client secrets.

In command line/terminal, type: heroku config:set CLIENT_SECRETS=' and then paste the entire content of your client_secrets.json file and end your single quote. You must use single quotes around our CLIENT_SECRETS, not double quotes. Do you not add anything else. An example might look like:

  $ heroku config:set CLIENT_SECRETS='{"web":{"client_id":"long-id.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"sheql-175101","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"some-secret-string","redirect_uris":["https://test-gmfholley.c9users.io/authenticated","http://localhost:4567/authenticated","https://sheql-test.herokuapp.com/authenticated"]}}'
  1. Your app should be running. You can visit it to make sure.
  2. Run your database migrations on Heroku by using the same command but with heroku run in front of it: heroku run rake db:migrate. (Heroku should create your database automatically if you have it set up correctly.)
  3. Run the seed files, if you have them: heroku run rake db:seed.
