This is the content of the elixir_buildpack.config

elixir_version=1.3.0

Any hint on what may be the cause of the error?

The project lacked a package.json and brunch-config.js. Adding those files solved the problem.

Create a phoenix_static_buildpack.config file in your app's root dir if you want to override the defaults. The file's syntax is bash.

If you don't specify a config option, then the default option from the buildpack's phoenix_static_buildpack.config file will be used.

Here's a full config file with all available options:

# Clean out cache contents from previous deploys
clean_cache=false

# We can change the filename for the compile script with this option
compile="compile"

# Add the config vars you want to be exported here
config_vars_to_export=(DATABASE_URL)

# We can set the version of Node to use for the app here
node_version=5.3.0

# We can set the version of NPM to use for the app here
npm_version=2.10.1

# We can set the path to phoenix app. E.g. apps/phoenix_app when in umbrella.
phoenix_relative_path=.

Here is complete instructions
