为什么在部署本地运行良好的 Flask 应用程序时 Heroku 崩溃（代码=H10）？

Question

I was trying to deploy an XGBoost model with Flask and Heroku and followed this tutorial on Medium. After getting the app successfully running on my local machine, I couldn't deploy it on Heroku without incurring "Application Error". (I tried to deploy the tutorial author's code and ran into exactly the same issue.)

Below is code in all relevant files and the error message. Would appreciate it if anyone has a clue about how to solve this issue?

Code in app.py :

import pickle
import pandas as pd
import flask 

# Load two pre-trained models
with open(f"model/classifier.pkl", "rb") as f:
    model = pickle.load(f)

with open(f"model/age_scaler.pkl", "rb") as f:
    scaler = pickle.load(f)

# Initialize the Flask app
app = flask.Flask(__name__, template_folder="templates")

# Set up the main route
@app.route("/", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def main():
    if flask.request.method == "GET":
        # Just render the initial form, to get input
        return flask.render_template("main.html")

    if flask.request.method == "POST":
        # Extract the input
        age = flask.request.form["age"]
        sex = flask.request.form["sex"]
        preconition = flask.request.form["chronic_disease_binary"]
        hypertension = flask.request.form["hypertension"]
        diabetes = flask.request.form["diabetes"]
        heart = flask.request.form["heart"]
        fever = flask.request.form["fever"]
        cough = flask.request.form["cough"]
        fatigue = flask.request.form["fatigue"]
        sore_throat = flask.request.form["sore_throat"]

        # Make DataFrame for model
        input_variables = pd.DataFrame(
            [
                [
                    scaler.transform([[age]])[0][0],

            ],
            dtype=float,
            index=["input"],
        )

        # Get the model's prediction
        prediction = model.predict_proba(input_variables)[0][1]

        # Render the form again, but add in the prediction and remind user
        # of the values they input before
        return flask.render_template(
            "main.html",
            original_input={
                "Age": age,
                "Sex": sex,

            },
            result= "{} %".format(round(float(prediction), 2) * 100)
        )

I suspect this issue has something to do Heroku and my local machine using different versions of XGBoost so the pickle file didn't run properly. If that's the case, what other ways can I use a trained model in Flask? Thanks!

Answer 1

can't post a comment, hence writing it here

Dependencies

change requirements.txt to pin down the exact versions of the packages, each lines in requirements should look like this

flask==1.1.1

to do this, from you virtual environment shell check the output of pip freeze if the output looks correct, then run pip freeze > requirements.txt to update the requirements.txt file, also have look at Pipfile new way of managing dependencies in Python

Runtime

Add a runtime.txt file with at the root of the project to pin down the Python version you want on heroku, check docs here for available versions

python-3.7.2
