Despite adding a requirements.txt, and checking the loads to see if it downloads the modules (which it seems to do) it crashes on deploy
pip install -r requirements.txt
Collecting pymysql (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
Downloading pymysql-1.1.2-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (4.3 kB)
Collecting flask (from -r requirements.txt (line 2))
Downloading flask-3.1.2-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (3.2 kB)
Collecting pydotenv (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))...
File "/app/connexion_db.py", line 4, in
from dotenv import load_dotenv

Your project is deploying correctly, but it crashes when the app starts because a required Python package is missing.
In your code you have:
from dotenv import load_dotenv
This function comes from the package python-dotenv.
However, in your requirements.txt you installed:
pydotenv
These two packages are different, and pydotenv does not provide load_dotenv, which causes the crash.
How to fix
- Open your
requirements.txt - Replace:
pydotenv with:
python-dotenv - Save the file and redeploy the project
Once the correct package is installed, your app should start normally.

Your project is deploying correctly, but it **crashes when the app starts** because a required Python package is missing. In your code you have: ``` from dotenv import load_dotenv ``` This function comes from the package `python-dotenv`. However, in your `requirements.txt` you installed: ``` pydotenv ``` These two packages are different, and `pydotenv` does **not** provide `load_dotenv`, which causes the crash. ### How to fix 1. Open your `requirements.txt` 2. Replace: ``` pydotenv ``` with: ``` python-dotenv ``` 3. Save the file and redeploy the project Once the correct package is installed, your app should start normally.
