Question

I am getting the following error when migrating to Heroku.

Installing hoe (2.9.4) /usr/ruby1.9.2/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:170:in >install’: hoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.4. Try ‘gem update –system’ to update RubyGems itself. (Gem::InstallError)`

It sais that the ruby gems version is out of date. Somebody knows how i could solve this problem?

Answer 1

Ok i solved it.

hoe simply doesnt work with heroku because they dont support new versions of rubygems (this is such a pain with heroku)

I added the hoe gem here:

group :test, :development do
  gem "hoe"
end

and typed the following in my console:

heroku config:add BUNDLE_WITHOUT="development:test"
