error when pushing to heroku: line 73: [: too many arguments

This is the first part of the trace when pushing:

Sorry, permission issue :cry: Could you try again?

[mgiraldo]

Pushing... (precompile takes a while)

[mgiraldo]

nope... same thing:

rake aborted!
Method Surface#centroid not defined.
/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/rgeo-0.3.20/lib/rgeo/feature/surface.rb:99:in `centroid'

What other settings do I need in Heroku? I had a LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var set to /app/bin/geos/lib:/app/bin/proj/lib before pushing. Should I remove and re-push?

[mgiraldo]

To clarify: push goes through fine, it's the rake task that doesn't work. The rake task has a call to somePolygonGeometry.centroid

[mgiraldo]

the actual code that is being called is here: https://github.com/NYPL/building-inspector/blob/postgis/app/services/consensus_utils.rb#L135-139

this Heroku instance does not have PostGIS enabled but I understand this is not a requirement for rgeo. In my development machine the database is not PostGIS either. I query the data as GeoJSON and then do processing via rgeo.

[cyberdelia]

Could you try this: heroku run irb And see what RGeo::Geos.supported? returns?

[mgiraldo]

did this:

irb(main):002:0> require 'rgeo'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> RGeo::Geos.supported?
=> false
irb(main):004:0> 

[mgiraldo]

any ideas why this is not working?

[cyberdelia]

@mgiraldo Could you trying to push again after running heroku repo:purge_cache on your app (from https://github.com/heroku/heroku-repo) ?

[mgiraldo]

oh my! it is working now!!!!

thank you!

[hayduke19us]

@cyberdelia This fix worked for me as well. Thanks!

Rails 4.1.1 ruby 2.1.1 postgis

[mgiraldo]

a build that used to work is not working anymore

i did upgrade to Ruby 2.2.4

any idea?

i did the purge_cache and pushed and get:

irb(main):001:0> require 'rgeo'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> RGeo::CoordSys::Proj4.supported?
=> true
irb(main):003:0> RGeo::Geos.supported?
=> false

[mgiraldo]

this is my buildpacks file:

https://github.com/cyberdelia/heroku-geo-buildpack.git#1.3
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git#v138

at https://github.com/nypl-spacetime/building-inspector/blob/master/.buildpacks

and my BUILDPACK_URL: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

[mgiraldo]

upped the buildpack-ruby to v145 and still no luck :pensive:

[mgiraldo]

this worked: https://github.com/rgeo/rgeo/issues/125#issuecomment-189192788

but it feels like a hack... is there a more “official” way of doing it?

[kunalbhatt]

@mgiraldo did you end up ever working around this hack?

[mgiraldo]

i am now using the multi buildpack functionality native to heroku and using these buildpacks:

1. https://github.com/peterkeen/heroku-buildpack-vendorbinaries.git
2. https://github.com/diowa/heroku-buildpack-rgeo-prep.git
3. heroku/ruby
