I know that there are so many topics on this problem but I didn't find those helpful.
I am trying to push my Django app on Heroku but during the transfer, I receive a: ModuleNotFoundError : No module named 'dashboard_app.settings'
It happens when the build is trying to run the : python manage.py collecstatic
I renamed the app directory but changed everything in the settings. Everything works great on a local side, even the collectstatic command (You can see the static files on the picture below). I have been trying to fix this all afternoon but without any success...
Some more information:
manage.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
if __name__ == "__main__":
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "dashboard_app.settings")
try:
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
except ImportError as exc:
raise ImportError(
"Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
"available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
"forget to activate a virtual environment?"
) from exc
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
settings.py
# Static files
if os.environ.get('PRODUCTION') == 'True':
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'staticfiles')
# Extra places for collectstatic to find static files.
STATIC_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static')
)

wsgi.py
import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "dashboard_app.settings")

If someone can help me with this problem, I would appreciate a big time!
