Heroku Toolbelt is currently updating issue

Question

My Heroku Toolbelt is stuck updating. When I run heroku in a console it says

Heroku Toolbelt is currently updating.

I have tried to uninstall and re-install but still the same issue.

I also tried to remove it with revo uninstaller.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Answer 1

Instead of completely uninstalling and reinstalling, I deleted a file called "updating" in "C:\Users\Profile-name\.heroku" and it started responding to commands again

Answer 2

I had the same issue with the older buggy Heroku toolbelt version. Except my heroku commands were not running from local but from Semaphore as a sequence of deploy steps.

Just running a update command first thing seems to solve the issue. Of this helps with your local toolbelt as well.
