Tutorial deploy failure

1

Thanks for your help so far, my Render buddies.

I have a new error when deploying the Django tutorial app.

Sep 29 11:42:13 AM  ==> Starting service with 'gunicorn www.wsgi:application'
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM  Traceback (most recent call last):
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM    File "/opt/render/project/src/.venv/bin/gunicorn", line 5, in <module>
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM      from gunicorn.app.wsgiapp import run
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM    File "/opt/render/project/src/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gunicorn/app/wsgiapp.py", line 9, in <module>

Sep 29 11:42:14 AM    File "/opt/render/project/src/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gunicorn/app/base.py", line 11, in <module>
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM      from gunicorn import util
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM    File "/opt/render/project/src/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gunicorn/util.py", line 25, in <module>
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM      import pkg_resources
Sep 29 11:42:14 AM  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

I had this problem before, and in trying to resolve it, I had the other two error pop up.

Any ideas?

Hi Micah,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m not a Python expert, but a quick search for ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' seems to show pkg_resources is related to setuptools.

There’s also another Community post here with the same issue (and a solution) https://community.render.com/t/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-pkg-resources-django-deploy

Hope that helps

Alan

Thanks, that worked.

The tutorial build.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# exit on error
set -o errexit


poetry install

python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
python manage.py migrate

The working build script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# exit on error
set -o errexit


poetry install
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --force-reinstall -U setuptools
python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
python manage.py migrate

The reinstall of setuptools comes after the poetry install step.

This solved the issue for me as well!
