Heroku command error .local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21:

Question

My heroku toolbelt had been working fine until last week that it's giving me this error on all heroku commands.

$ heroku run console -a abc /Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory /Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory 

I didn't know that my heroku has been auto upgraded, but what has changed is I installed heroku-vi addon around the time. Not sure if it's the case.

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Noted that I installed heroku on my Mac using homebrew.

Answer 1

Cause:

This also happened to me, the client auto-updated but didn't do so properly:

heroku run console heroku-cli: Updating to 6.11.14-c5f9179... 12.9 MB/12.9 MB /Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory /Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory 

Solution:

The resolution was to re-install the client using the following (as found here https://github.com/heroku/cli/issues/485):

rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku/client 

I then checked using the status command and it re-installed correctly:

heroku status heroku-cli: Updating to 6.11.14-c5f9179... 12.9 MB/12.9 MB Migrating Heroku CLI v5 plugins... done Apps:      No known issues at this time. Data:      No known issues at this time. Tools:     No known issues at this time.

Heroku-error-Not a directory

Not a directory Error when executing Heroku commands

heroku ▸   stat /User/xxx/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: not a directory ▸   fork/exec /User/xxx/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: not a directory 

Solution is to remove previous directory

rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku/client
