ruby - Can't start foreman in Heroku Tutorial using Python

Question

I have been attempting to complete this tutorial, but have run into a problem with the foreman start line. I am using a windows 7, 64 bit machine and am attempting to do this in the git bash terminal provided by the Heroku Toolbelt.

When I enter foreman start I receive:

sh.exe": /c/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/ruby-1.9.2/bin/foreman: "c:/Program: bad
interpreter: No such file or directory

So I tried entering the cmd in git bash by typing cmd and then using foreman start (similar to a comment on one of the answers to this question suggests). This is what that produced:

Bad file descriptor
c:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/ruby-1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/foreman-0.62.0
/lib/foreman/engine.rb:377:in `read_nonblock'
c:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/ruby-1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/foreman-0.62.0
/lib/foreman/engine.rb:377:in `block (2 levels) in watch_for_output'
c:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/ruby-1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/foreman-0.62.0
/lib/foreman/engine.rb:373:in `loop'
c:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/ruby-1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/foreman-0.62.0
/lib/foreman/engine.rb:373:in `block in watch_for_output'
21:06:08 web.1  | exited with code 1
21:06:08 system | sending SIGKILL to all processes

I have no clue what the second set of errors is trying to tell me, since the file location it seems to claim engine.rb is running from does not even exist on my computer.

I have looked at other answers to similar problems, however I am not receiving similar errors and so do not believe a solution to my problem currently exists.

Answer 1

I had this problem. I fixed it by uninstalling version 0.62 of the foreman gem and installing 0.61.

gem uninstall foreman
gem install foreman -v 0.61
