Getting a circular import error

catsarebetter · April 19, 2022, 9:00pm

Everything builds fine, works on local, but once I try to deploy, I get this error. I’ve tried downgrading and updating dependencies, importing new ones, googling and duck duck go-ing around and I’m genuinely stuck.

Circular imports are generally caused by errors in the application code. Where Package A relies on Package B and Package B relies on Package A.

Can you make sure that you are using the same versions of your dependencies locally as are installed when you run it on Render?

catsarebetter · April 20, 2022, 2:32am

Yes I can definitely check, do you have any suggestions on how to do it quickly? How do I check the dependencies in Render? My mind goes to the console.

catsarebetter · April 20, 2022, 8:16am

Manually checked all the packages, the local and prod in Render match

Hi! Do you have a small reproduction github repo we can use to take a look through?
