symfony 4.3 on OVH server, cache clear return error 255 (while composer update / heroku deploy from github)

Question

I did a symfony 4.3 app, and would like to put it on my OVH server. I Saved my app on github, and ignored .env file, plus all files and folders already ignored in .gitignore. Then, in SSH, in my OVH server, I did a git clone to get my app on it. Then I did a composer update to get all the files and folders missing (var, vendor, .env). This gave me the error :

Executing script cache:clear [KO]
[KO]
script cache:clear returned with error 255
!!
script @auto-scripts was called via post-update-cmd

And vendor was present on my server, but neither var nor .env. So I manually transfered .env in FTP via filezilla, I changed it with APP_ENV=prod, then I created manually (still with filezilla) a var folder, with cache and log folders in it (I didn't transfered mine so that it's empty, so already cleared). Then I checked : my website was working on the internet (from my server, not in local).

So, problem solved ? ... Yes and no. The website works, but my purpose isn't to post a website on the internet, but to learn (I follow a symfony lesson on udemy). I got to learn how to make automatically deployments with heroku.

So I create a heroku account, linked it to my github account, and to my app. But when I try to deploy manually from heroku (to check it works before doing automatically deployments), I still have a cache clear 255 error (the [modified : some numbers and letters] are things I hidden in the error message because I wondered if this could be sensitive) :

Executing script cache:clear [KO]
        [KO]
       Script cache:clear returned with error code 255
       !!  PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Exception\PathException: Unable to read the "/tmp/build_[modified : some numbers and letters]/.env" environment file. in /tmp/build_[modified : some numbers and letters]/vendor/symfony/dotenv/Dotenv.php:484

Because of the error message, I looked in my composer.json file, I have this :

"scripts": {
        "auto-scripts": {
            "cache:clear": "symfony-cmd",
            "assets:install %PUBLIC_DIR%": "symfony-cmd"
        },
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "@auto-scripts"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "@auto-scripts"
        ]
    },

Is there something wrong with it ? I don't see what I could change in it.

I tried many things I found on the internet :

https://github.com/symfony/flex/issues/406 composer update symfony/flex --no-plugins --no-scripts. composer install

executed in ssh didn't create any errors in itself, but didn't resolved the problem when trying again to deploy on heroku

I also try what the teacher in my lesson proposed in this case :

composer config disable-tls true
composer install

Same : no errors when doing this, but didn't solve the problem when trying to deploy on heroku

And many things since yesterday, I don't remember everything I tried :-/ but nothing worked.

Make sure you set the environment variable SYMFONY_ENV = prod in Heroku and the APP_ENV = prod in your .env file.

Thank you for answering ! I didn't know about the SYMFONY_ENV var. But I did it, I created it in heroku > settings > config vars, and the problem is unfortunatly still the same – fred Jun 13 '19 at 10:54
And what about your .env file?? Make sure you set APP_ENV=prod in .env file – Dayron Gallardo Jun 14 '19 at 12:41
Sorry, I already told I've put "APP_ENV = prod" in the first message, so I forgot to tell it in my response, but I should have. So already done ! I checked it with command ligne "nano" in ssh. – fred Jun 14 '19 at 14:35
@fred make sure your .env file is committed to your repository, also add symfony/dotenv as a composer dependency for Symfony to actually use the environment variables defined in the .env file. – Dayron Gallardo Jun 14 '19 at 20:11
