Rails Heroku Gem Deployment Problem

Question

config.gem: Unpacked gem authlogic-2.1.5 in vendor/gems has no specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem authlogic-2.1.6 in vendor/gems has no specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this. 
/disk1/home/slugs/283271_2d484fd_a21d/mnt/config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:271:in `require_frameworks': RubyGem version error: rack(1.0.1 not ~> 1.1.0) (RuntimeError)

Above from Heroku Logs. Anyone know what this means? I tried google and tried to produce the .gem file and this is what my .gem file looks like this:

authlogic --version 2.1.6
acl9 --version ">=0.12.0" --source http://gemcutter.org
rack --version 1.0.1

When I run rake gems:refresh_specs I get this error :

littleman@littleman-laptop:~/Desktop/employee_tracker$ rake gems:refresh_specs

This is what I get from deploying to heroku.

If you go to the site, it will say error. Then when I look at the logs, I see this.

       This may be due to a typo, wrong number of arguments, or calling a

       Make sure the app is working locally in production mode, by running it

Can anyone help? Thank you in advance, and greatly appreciated.

SOLUTION SOLVED:

After all of the above, i added the below line of code to .gems then heroku rake db:migrate rails --version 2.3.8 .

Thank you again for helping.

Answer 1

One of things you'd want to change is remove the statement for "rack" version in the .gems files. Heroku will take care of it by default.

As for the authlogic did you try running refresh_specs, not sure if that would any problems anyway.

Is this a Rails 3 app ? . If yes http://docs.heroku.com/rails3 use these as instruction. You have to use the bamboo stack in heroku instead of the regular one.

Answer 2

the error message mentions that your gems are packed into vendor/gems folder

config.gem: Unpacked gem authlogic-2.1.5 in vendor/gems has no specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.

Have you vendored them yourself prior to pushing - I don't ever recall Heroku doing that for any of my apps.

If you have vendored them yourself, are you able to try deleting your vendor/gems folder and then doing git add -u . && git commit -am "removing vendored gems" before pushing...
