Question

I’m not sure what to do if I have a compile error after I deploy to heroku. Things are working okay on my system locally.

This is what I am getting from the Heroku console:

Z-Kidds-MacBook-Air:sample_app zkidd$ heroku console
Ruby console for warm-rain-75.heroku.com

User.create(:name => “Example User”, :email => “[e-mail]”,
SyntaxError: compile error
/home/heroku_rack/lib/console.rb:150: syntax error, unexpected $end
User.create(:name => “Example User”, :email => “[e-mail]”,
^
/home/heroku_rack/lib/console.rb:150
/home/heroku_rack/lib/console.rb:150:in call'
/home/heroku_rack/lib/console.rb:28:incall’
/usr/ruby1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/monitor.rb:242:in `synchronize’

Blindly, I ran heroku db:migrate, thinking that might help, but it did not.

This won’t work on your local machine too. You have an extra/are missing an end in your controller hence the unexpected $end message.
