Heroku Bamboo: Console Fails To Load

Question

We have a rails 3.0 app running on Heroku's bamboo stack. We had been having trouble running a console session using the regular heroku console --app name recently. It would connect but then trying any query would result in an Internal Server Error.

We were getting deprecation warnings to download Heroku Toolbelt. I did that, installed locally and then tried to launch a console using heroku run --app teddle rails console but get the following errors.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Running `rails console` attached to terminal... up, run.2038

So after almost a day of debugging the answer turned out to be a name clash with a resource named Test. Test is a restricted keyword in rails.

We weren't using the resource, so deleting all files associated with it (model, controller, views, helpers, etc.) solved our problem.

I'm sure renaming the resource would have had the same effect.

I believe the correct command should be heroku run console --app teddle.

For bamboo stack apps that command results in an error. `heroku run console --app teddle Running `console` attached to terminal... up, run.7756 bash: console: command not found` – julesie Nov 28 '12 at 17:59
