Error while deploying to heroku: rake assets:precompile PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Question

While trying to git push the application to heroku, i get this specific error:

remote:        Running: rake assets:precompile 
remote:        PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: Connection     refused
remote:        Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
remote:        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

I tried to follow the steps of the article : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails-asset-pipeline#troubleshooting

And my assets were compiling locally without the need of a connection to a data base.

I have added also the config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

But the error still occurs when trying to deploy in heroku...

Any idea about what am i doing wrong ?

Thanks!

PS: I am using spree 3.0.0 with rails 4.2.0

Create new db in heroku for your app: heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql

Then try git push to heroku
