Cannot load such file netrc

[christhekeele]

We're using Atlassian's Bamboo with Amazon's EC2 for continuous integration.

A few days ago the heroku toolbelt stopped working on the instance:

$ heroku -v
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': cannot load such file -- netrc (LoadError)

The OS is the default linux installation EC2 offers.

Every morning, the instance is rebuilt from scratch. Ruby is built with the fairly trivial flags --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-shared --disable-install-doc --with-opt-dir=$PREFIX/lib.

The toolbelt is installed not as a gem, but through the script: wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install.sh | sh.

Installing the gem seems to fix things, but I was under the impression this isn't the correct way to use the toolbelt anymore.

The Toolbelt release may be out of date in the default installer. Can you run $ heroku version and let me know what it says?

[christhekeele]

Sadly,

$ heroku version
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': cannot load such file -- netrc (LoadError)
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku/auth.rb:6:in `<top (required)>'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku/client.rb:4:in `<top (required)>'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku/cli.rb:4:in `<top (required)>'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
    from /usr/local/heroku/bin/heroku:22:in `<main>'

However,

$ cat /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku/version.rb
module Heroku
  VERSION = "3.6.0"
end

This is the same version number that the working gem reports.

[christhekeele]

As far as I can tell the only differences between the two are in the bin/heroku binstub itself, according to this hacky git diff method.

@christhekeele - I had to manually add in

gem install netrc && gem install heroku-api

in our instance startup script as a workaround for the moment. We are looking into this in more detail.

[christhekeele]

Thanks! Let me know if I can assist.

We've hit the same issue attempting to deploy to Heroku from Semaphoreapp. They had just updated their version of heroku tool belt as well.

[catsby]

Can you show me the contents of /usr/local/heroku/vendor/gems?:

[christhekeele]

There doesn't seem to be a vendor in my /usr/local/heroku. Same output as noted in #1071. Closest thing is /usr/local/heroku/lib/vendor/ which only contains heroku/okjson.rb.

@jeffmcfadden I used gem install netrc && gem install heroku-api as first deploy command on Semaphore as a workaround

[tony-f]

The workaround on Semaphore using the gem install netrc && gem install heroku-api as first deploy command works well for us also...thx @jeffmcfadden

[pedro]

Hey folks,

So sorry for the trouble! The root cause here is that we released an update for the Toolbelt that didn't include vendored gems. This should have been fixed starting on 3.7. You can update with heroku update or by re-installing the toolbelt if that doesn't work.

Thanks,

[christhekeele]

Excellent, thank you!

[tony-f]

Awesome! Thanks!!
