Buildpack for Ruby fails to parse a particular syntax

Error

Heroku runs my Gemfile file fine, as does the heroku local command.

Workaround

Replacing the %i() syntax with a [] array fixes this problem.

-- gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: %i(mingw mswin x64_mingw jruby)
++ gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: ['mingw', 'mswin', 'x64_mingw', 'jruby']

We're running the exact same buildpack as they are:

https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby

Can you provide a PR against example-ruby-sinatra that demonstrates this behaviour for testing?

On it.

From the discussion at: https://github.com/deis/example-ruby-sinatra/pull/10

• Deis's buildpack is parsing the Gemfile in Ruby 1.9.3, Heroku is parsing it in 2.3.1
• There's a switch for the ruby version here if app[:is_new] is true
