"Build failed 😞" message while trying to deploy app to Render

[TyRonmi]

I have been trying to deploy an app to render but I keep getting the above message. I used pipreqs --encoding=utf8 to automatically generate the requirements files for the app which contains the following:

Pillow==9.3.0
Pillow==9.2.0
Pillow==10.0.0
Requests==2.31.0
streamlit==1.11.0
streamlit==1.25.0
streamlit_lottie==0.0.5

I went on to create a GitHub repository and uploaded the files for the app to the repository. I then connected the repository to render’s webservice option. the render’s build failed message is as follows:

Please how do I resolve this?

I tried to delete earlier versions of the duplicated modules in the requirements.txt file with no success

Remove all but one version of Pillow and streamlit.

Thanks for your response, but I’ve tried deleting duplicate versions, but it’s still saying the build failed, so I reinstalled Anaconda and the necessary libraries for this project. In the end, my requirements.txt file is:

Pillow==9.5.0
Requests==2.31.0
streamlit==1.25.0
streamlit_lottie==0.0.5

This is the error message I’m getting now:

Aug 16 11:17:19 AM  ERROR: No matching distribution found for streamlit==1.25.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))
Aug 16 11:17:19 AM  WARNING: You are using pip version 20.1.1; however, version 23.2.1 is available.

streamlit requires Python >= 3.8 ( see the sidebar of streamlit · PyPI ), Render defaults to the latest 3.7 version at this time, see Specifying a Python Version | Render

[TyRonmi]

running python -V and pip -V suggests I’m using Python 3.9.13 and pip 23.2.1 respectively

[Jason-Render]

That output is coming from your own computer, not on Render, because your output in the first post says:

Aug 12 06:49:58 PM ==> Using Python version 3.7.10 (default)

If you are using 3.9.13 locally, you should set that on Render as well. Specifying a Python Version | Render Docs

“You can customize the Python version for your app by setting the PYTHON_VERSION environment variable to a valid Python version”

How do I achieve this please? This is my first time using render

Hi there,

Please see our documentation for setting environment variables here: https://render.com/docs/configure-environment-variables

Thanks for all your responses. I replaced streamlit==1.25.0 with streamlit<=1.25.0 in the requirements.txt file, and it was successful.
