Rails, post-deploy to Heroku: unable to run console, db:migrate

Question

Good day,

My team and I are trying to push our Rails app to Heroku - git push heroku dev:master is successful, but thereafter heroku run rails db:migrate, heroku run rails console, etc. all fail with the following error (full trace pasted at bottom of post):

   NoMethodError: undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass
    /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/warden-jwt_auth-0.3.6/lib/warden/jwt_auth.rb:89:in `upcase_first_items'

I tracked down the failing method upcase_first_items in the files of the gem jwt_auth, but remain unable to solve this. Searching the error on Google (including iterations of the error) turns up 0 results.

We successfully pushed this app to Heroku two weeks ago, and have not since changed anything with regards to authentication (which I've made sure of by reviewing all our commits from the last 2 weeks).

Any ideas?

Thanks, Michael

Update 1

I reverted to each commit from the previous two weeks (i.e. between now and the last working deploy), and deployed, but received the same error. I reached commits from even before the last deploy (the deploy that was working), and still have the same error, which leads me to believe it has nothing to do with our commits from the last few weeks.

When I went to the Heroku dashboard and reverted the build to the deploy from two weeks ago, the Rails commands (heroku run rails c, heroku run rails db:migrate, etc.) once again work.

Answer 1

With the version 0.8.0 of devise-jwt it's no longer a problem. Please see the breaking change in version 0.7.0, when upgrading.

Previous answer

Probably someone or something upgraded the dry-configurable gem from version 0.9.0 to 0.11.1. This gem is a dependency of warden-jwt_auth which is a dependency of devise-jwt and the new version breaks it.

A few days ago the version 0.11.0 of dry-configurable was released and warden-jwt_auth uses it, because it specifies the version of this dependency with ~> 0.6, which includes the faulty version (everything from 0.6 to 1.0 would be fine). You can see that in the Gemfile.lock or in the dependencies of warden-jwt_auth.

If somebody did run bundle upgrade it will have pulled the new faulty version.

I recommend you to pin the older version of dry-configurable in your Gemfile:

gem 'dry-configurable', '0.9.0'

Then run bundle update and deploy again.
