I’m trying to follow the instructions on migrating to Cedar (except I did a major rewrite so this isn’t a branch of the previous app but a separate one) and stuck at the db migration step. I installed the pgbackup and heroku postgresql addons but get this result:
j3(master) : heroku pgbackups:restore DATABASE heroku pgbackups:url --app dada-foe-110 –app something-something-4311
32mQkEpWyJdfplOnXhlCnCRsoxYE12-05-25 –app something-something-4311
EXTERNAL_BACKUP <—restore— b002.dump
! WARNING: Destructive Action
! This command will affect the app: something-something-4311
! To proceed, type “something-something-4311” or re-run this command with –confirm something-something-4311
[entered app name]
Retrieving… done
! An error occurred and your restore did not finish.
! The backup url is invalid. Use pgbackups:url to generate a new temporary URL.
Turns out I needed to update the Heroku gem. Poor error messaging from them, though, that I had to go to a support ticket to understand this since I was only out of date one or two minor versions and you wouldn’t expect breaking changes at that level. Oh well.
