Problems with Deploy your website on Heroku

[yenly]

I'm working through the exercise and is running into issues with database migration. I followed the instructions to change to PostgreSQL installation. I run $ heroku run python manage.py migrate and I get all the stats staying ok. But yet when I run $ heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser I get errors saying database doesn't exist. I tried googling for answers but can't find a solution. Are these instructions outdated compared to Heroku?

You have 15 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, blog, contenttypes, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

That should be fixed now, thank you for your work 🙏

I am having the same issue. Traceback looks almost identical except for some line numbers. How did you fix this problem?

[aniav]

@CapnS we marged a fix that should have worked. But it was also a long time ago, so maybe something changed with heroku. I reopened it, but I don't expect to work on it any time soon, so try asking on Django Girls gitter channel 🙏
