error fetching custom buildpack

[philippbosch]

I was trying to setup a super simple static app as described in the README.

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/me/Sites/my-app/.git/
$ cat > index.html
<h1>Hello world</h1>
$ git add index.html
$ git commit -m "Initial."
[master (root-commit) 2850e68] Initial.

$ heroku create --buildpack [email protected]:craigkerstiens/heroku-buildpack-static.git my-app

To [email protected]:my-app.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:my-app.git'
$ heroku logs

2012-08-01T09:06:12+00:00 heroku[slugc]: Slug compilation failed: error fetching custom buildpack

Am I doing something wrong?

Try using the HTTPS URL for the buildpack rather than the GIT URL. That worked for me.

You're right. Changing the heroku create line to

heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/craigkerstiens/heroku-buildpack-static.git my-app

fixed that issue for me. Now I'm stuck with #1 :-/
