Add build environment validation checks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- Adds a warning if the Python buildpack has been run multiple times
  in the same build.
- Adds a warning if an existing `.heroku/python/` directory is found
  in the app source.
- Improves the error message shown if the buildpack is used on an
  unsupported stack. Previously the build would fail with a curl
  download error depending on the availability of assets on S3.
  This scenario can only happen outside of Heroku, or in an old
  buildpack is used with a brand new stack (eg for Heroku-26).

The two warnings are the first step towards #1704 and #1710, and will
be turned into errors in January 2025.

Towards #1704 and #1710.

## [Unreleased]

- Added a warning if the Python buildpack has been run multiple times in the same build. In January 2025 this warning will be made an error. ([#1724](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/pull/1724))
- Added a warning if an existing `.heroku/python/` directory is found in the app source. In January 2025 this warning will be made an error. ([#1724](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/pull/1724))
- Improved the error message shown if the buildpack is used on an unsupported stack. ([#1724](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/pull/1724))
- Fixed Dev Center links to reflect recent article URL changes. ([#1723](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/pull/1723))
- Added metrics for the existence of a uv lockfile. ([#1725](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/pull/1725))
