Question

I’ve got an app I’m trying to load onto heroku, and I’ve removed a file called varieties.rb.

I ran git -u to update the directory and remove the files, and then git add . I then committed with git commit -m "removed the error causing file".

when I run git ls-files it the offending file admin/variety.rb is not in the list.
I then push to heroku, and get the error

2012-12-03T23:08:32+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/app/admin/varieties.rb:1:in
 `': uninitialized constant Variety (NameError)

which leads me to believe that for some reason when pushing to heroku, heroku is only updating, the files and not removing the deleted files.

Shouldn’t the push command sync all the files, and not just update?

Answer 1

apparently git add -A resolved the issue. Not sure why, as from what I understand it is the same as git add -U followed by git add .
