My Heroku Toolbelt is stuck updating. When I run heroku in a console it says
Heroku Toolbelt is currently updating.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install but still the same issue.
I also tried to remove it with revo uninstaller.
Any ideas on how to fix?
Instead of completely uninstalling and reinstalling, I deleted a file called "updating" in "C:\Users\Profile-name\.heroku" and it started responding to commands again
I had the same issue with the older buggy Heroku toolbelt version. Except my heroku commands were not running from local but from Semaphore as a sequence of deploy steps.
Just running a update command first thing seems to solve the issue. Of this helps with your local toolbelt as well.
heroku update
The 5 minute update by heroku can be bypassed by removing the background_update! line from updater.rb or updating the toolbelt to version 3.15.2. That version will only lock if there really is an update instead of every 5 minutes.
Uninstall Toolbelt.
Manually delete
C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku
C:\Users\Profile-name\ .heroku
Re-install toolbelt.
As of version 0.3.15 of heroku toolbelt, heroku toolbelt will fail if an autoupdate is already in progress. Heroku toolbelt will check every 5 minutes for an update, so back-to-back heroku commands will fail unless another single heroku command has been run within the last 5 minutes. This behavior was introduced by this commit:
https://github.com/heroku/heroku/commit/023c84d15cde5958631b240eeaadec01a3b49031
I noticed this because it breaks heroku_san which typically makes multiple heroku commands back-to-back. Unfortunately, I don't see a workaround. It would help toolbelt could provide some sort of option to disable autoupdate or increase the time period for checks.
