heroku 3.1.0 - C:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/lib/heroku/updater.rb:164:in `spawn': No such file or directory - open (Errno::ENOENT)

Question

I just installed the latest Heroku Toolbelt (3.1.0) on my Windows 7/64 PC.

I opened a new Command Line and typed 'heroku login'. I get the following error:

C:\Users\Frédéric>heroku login
C:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/lib/heroku/updater.rb:164:in `spawn': No such file or directory - open (Errno::ENOENT)
        from C:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/lib/heroku/updater.rb:164:in `background_update!'
        from C:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/lib/heroku/updater.rb:144:in `inject_libpath'
        from C:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/bin/heroku:24:in `<main>'

I'm stuck right at the first command :(

Can anyone help ?

Answer 1

1) Open the updater.rb file from ur editor (sublime text 2 here)

2) Remove line 144, which is "background_update!".

After that I simpled typed "heroku login" and it worked.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, which I resolved by adding my own brutal update... i deleted the problem from the source and it actually works fine ! :D

I faced the same issue trying to port my code from Win7 to Win8, which caused me to reinstall pretty much everything, and I couldn't get heroku working. Here's what i did :

1°) Open the updater.rb file from ur editor (sublime text 2 here) 2°) Remove line 144, which is " inject_libpath! " if I recall correctly. 3°) I also removed what's in the else statement, line 164. Thought that wasn't sufficient, it only worked after I deleted line 144. Maybe that's where the real problem comes from.

Anyway, after that I simpled typed "heroku" and it magicaly...worked.

By the way, I also had a problem typing heroku keys:add, which I fixed by creating my own key from the Git Batch Promptcommand, following this :

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

and then the heroku keys:add command worked perfectly and I could git push heroku master again !

Good luck with Windows8.
