Question

I have a Rails app on Heroku that works fine when I access it through a browser. It’s also displaying data from the database correctly. However, when I try to update the database through the console, I’m getting an internal server error message. The model’s name is Total.rb (table’s name is “totals”) I’m doing this to get the first entry

t = Total.first
! Internal server error

Since the app’s working through the browser, I’m not sure if this is a problem I’m causing or if it’s heroku’s fault. It’s been a while since I updated through the console, so I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, but that seems pretty straightforward.

I had always accessed the console with ‘heroku console’ now it’s telling me to use ‘heroku run console’ but when I did that, it told me that the heroku gem has been deprecated and I need to install the Toolbelt. I installed the Toolbelt, authenticated, and tried to run a console session but same result.

Here’s my Heroku info

Addons: heroku-postgresql:dev
pgbackups:plus
zerigo_dns:basic

Update

If I try to run the console after installing the Heroku toolbelt, I get

 heroku run console
Running `console` attached to terminal... up, run.3213
bash: console: command not found

I was having the same problem there is some internal issue going on with the heroku CLI client that I don’t understand.

The solution posted in this stackoverflow thread solved it for me:
