Deploy to multiple heroku instances using a ruby script - ruby-on-rails

I have three heroku apps with same code-base, one points to admin interface, one user interface and last to staging application for testing.if i do a single change then i have to deploy to all three instances one by one that is a very tedious task, i need a help in writing a script which deploy to all three instances at once. i saw this post which says that Capistrano can't be used for this.
Deploying on Heroku with Capistrano?

As per my opinion this could be the answer
git push heroku master -a app_a
heroku run rake db:migrate -a app_a
git push heroku master -a app_b
heroku run rake db:migrate -a app_b
git push heroku master -a app_c
heroku run rake db:migrate -a app_c
if anything i am missing please add it to this answer.
I am writing a ruby gem for it, and after that i will update my answer.

Database entry not showing up on Heroku

I am developing my first Rails app, and I have made some database entries that are showing up in the development environment, but not in the production environment (Heroku). I have run
git add
git commit
git push origin master
git push heroku master
rake db:migrate
in the terminal.
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
After running these commands, to get the application’s database to work, you’ll also have to migrate the production database:
$ heroku run rake db:migrate
$ heroku open
if this doesn't work please show your logs.
you just need to run
heroku run rake db:migrate

How to run DB migrations that effect only on heroku fork app

On heroku I create fork app using heroku fork --from sourceapp --to targetapp
By this I copy an existing application and Heroku Postgres data.
Now I push some migrations on fork app using git push forked master.
How I run these migrations on heroku that it effect only heroku-fork app.
When I run heroku run rake db:migrate , is it effect both or only fork one?
When you have multiple applications associated with the same codebase, Heroku will ask you which application you want to run the command on.
You'll specify that with the -a or --app flag, so for example
heroku run rake db:migrate --app <APPNAME>
This will allow you to run commands on the fork app or the source app.

Unable to find phantomjs executable on heroku

I am using gem Watir in my web application. When my user triggers an action the watir webdriver is opened and there's scrapping and posting on websites involved. I dont want my users to see the browser during the action so I am using watir with a ghostdriver using phantomJS as is explained here : http://watirmelon.com/2013/02/05/watir-webdriver-with-ghostdriver-on-osx-headless-browser-testing/
This works perfectly locally, however when I try using it on heroku deploy I get the following error:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError (Unable to find phantomjs executable.):
Then I tried to add nodeJS & phantomJS buildpack as specified here
Is there a working nodejs/phantomjs Heroku buildpack?
I ran the following command line in the console :
➜ tennis-match git:(master) heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git --app we-tennis-staging
Buildpack set. Next release on we-tennis-staging will use https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git.
Run `git push heroku master` to create a new release using this buildpack.
➜ tennis-match git:(master) heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/stomita/heroku-buildpack-phantomjs.git --app we-tennis-staging
Buildpack added. Next release on we-tennis-staging will use:
1. https://github.com/stomita/heroku-buildpack-phantomjs.git
2. https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
Run `git push heroku master` to create a new release using these buildpacks.
then pushed on my staging app
➜ tennis-match git:(master) git push staging master
Everything up-to-date
But I still get the error. Do you have any idea on how to fix this ?
This worked for me.

Note: After following the above instructions, make sure you have a Procfile with the code mentioned below:
web: bin/rails server -p $PORT -e $RAILS_ENV

'You do not have access to the app' when trying to access heroku console

I recently started collaborating in a project on Heroku using Ruby on Rails. I was added as a collaborator and added the remote to my environment. After some development, I pushed some changes and had no problems:
$ git push staging
Where staging is the name of my remote.
Later, when trying to run "rake test" on Heroku, I recieved an error:
$heroku run rake test --app staging
Running `rake test` attached to terminal... failed
! You do not have access to the app staging.
Which is odd, as I was perfectly able to push my own changes. I checked the Heroku dashboard and saw that my push was logged there. I then tried to view the logs using the console, and the same problem occured.
$ heroku logs --app staging
! You do not have access to the app staging.
Finally, I tried to access the console, but it failed as well.
$ heroku run rails console --app staging
Running `rails console` attached to terminal... failed
! You do not have access to the app staging.
At this point I updated my Heroku toolbelt installation, and used "heroku auth" to verify that my email was showing up, but the error persists. I'm currently contacting Heroku support but I'm hoping someone with a similar issue could aid me in parallel.
Thanks!
So just in case anyone is having a similar problem, this occurs because I was mixing the name of my Heroku Apps with the name of my git remotes. So when I was calling --app staging (the name of my remote), I should have been using the actual name of the app, as found in Heroku.
Be sure to run heroku login before using Heroku toolbelt commands for the first time. It will not tell you that you have not signed in before.
This happen also when you haven't added heroku git remote repository.
You can add it with this command:
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/<your project>.git
You can also type
heroku git:remote -a AppName
I had the same problem because I had created multiple remotes on heroku (e.g. a remote called "staging" for staging, and the default remote "heroku" for prod).
Solution
Use these two options to let heroku know which app and remote you're referring to:
-a your_app_name, and
--remote name_of_remote
Examples
For example, for the remote called staging:
heroku run env -a your_app_name --remote staging
or like this for the production remote:
heroku run env -a your_app_name --remote heroku
Extra Info
The above code runs the simple command env, but you can replace that with whatever commands you want to run on heroku.
Replace the name of the remote. By default, heroku creates one remote called heroku, which is typically the production remote. You can get your remotes with the command: git remote.
This was caused of your ssh key is no more permited to access. Make sure your ssh key is same. You can also regenarate your ssh key and add this to heroku.
You can also run:
heroku run rake test --remote staging
Not sure what happens under the hood, but locally the CLI tool figures out which app you mean based on your git remote.
I had the same problem in my case I was not pushing from master so I had to use this:
git push heroku :main
I had the same problem. It was cause I was not login in Heroku.
First I type:
heroku login
then i type:
heroku git:remote -a restserver-node-jngs
and it works.
I hope it be helpfull for someone.

Deploying Heroku app--updating my code?

This is a basic, stupid question, but I configured my Rails app to deploy on Heroku, and I'm able to open the application from my Heroku account, etc. But when I want to change my code, do I need to re-deploy the whole application? I tried just committing/pushing to heroku master, but I get the error "fatal: remote end hung up unexpectedly." What should I do instead?
Also: am I supposed to run db:migrate BEFORE deploying/pushing?
There is nothing stupid about a basic question, as everyone has to start somewhere.
The basic process with deploying a Rails app to Heroku is to:
Make changes
Add and Commit your changes ($ git add files_changed.rb & $ git commit -m "make changes")
Push your changes to Heroku ($ git push heroku master)
This then pushes your code to the remote Heroku repository and redeploys your Rails application. If you have made any database migrations, you need to run:
$ heroku run rake db:migrate
This runs db:migrate on your heroku app - see how that works? :)
Running rake db:migrate locally simply migrates your local development database.
