It was working just fine this morning but suddenly it giving me such error. I tried to uninstall and install it but no luck. Would appreciate if anyone can help me in it.

Upgrade to version 3.6.0 of the Heroku Toolbelt.

I also had the same issue. The error that's occurring is that it's trying to load the "multi_json" gem, but it wasn't on my machine. I doubt it's on your machines either.

What I think happened is that Heroku updated their client and are now using this gem in their code, but they forgot to add it as a dependency so it would be automatically pulled down when updating? That's just my guess.

Regardless, installing the multi_json gem fixed it for me:

gem install multi_json
