My website, hosted in Heroku, has been working fine with Rails 3.2.8. I’m using a route constraint class with the HighVoltage gem for static (mostly) webpages:
routes.rb:

get "/*id" => "high_voltage/pages#show", constraints: Constraints::StaticPage.new

I have a file in /lib/constraints/static_page.rb:

module Constraints
  class StaticPage
    def matches?(request)
      File.exist? file_path(request.path)
    end

    private

    def file_path(view)
      static_page_views_dir.to_s.concat("#{view}.html.erb")
    end

    def static_page_views_dir
      Rails.root.join('app', 'views', 'pages')
    end
  end
end

Problem is, I just updated to Rails 3.2.9 and did a git push heroku and my app crashed 🙁

my-host:my-site scott$ heroku ps
=== web: `bundle exec rails server -p $PORT`
web.1: crashed 2012/11/14 12:14:41 (~ 2s ago)

Apparently, Ruby/Heroku can’t find my Constraints::StaticPage class. I have it required at the top of my routes.rb:

require 'constraints/static_page'

Did something change in Rails 3.2.9 so that no longer works with Heroku? Locally everything works fine, just not in Heroku. If I take out that constraint in my route, everything works perfect (aside from not having those constraints). Here’s my heroku logs output:

Can you try out the following versions in your Gemfile:

# Gemfile
gem 'rails', '3.2.9'
gem 'high_voltage', '~> 1.2.1'
gem 'thin'

# ...

The 1.2.1 release of High Voltage has the root route constraints baked into it. This will allow you to remove the routes completely from your config/routes.rb file.

Just set up an initializer for High Voltage:

# config/initializers/high_voltage.rb
HighVoltage.route_drawer = HighVoltage::RouteDrawers::Root

I deployed the above to a Cedar app on Heroku and it ran as expected.
