purge-cache fails #48

Closed localjo closed 8 years ago

localjo commented 8 years ago

Any time I try to run heroku repo:purge-cache -a myappname it fails with;

~/tmp/repo_tmp/unpack $ tar -zxf ../repo-cache.tgz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I'm trying to purge the build cache of a review app in the process of debugging a buildpack related issue.

This happens when there is no build cache. (It's a terrible error message, though, and we should fix that.)

Did the build fail? The build cache is only written on successful builds.

Yeah, the build failed because of an issue with the buildpack I was using. I was actually trying to use purge-cache to resolve the issue because I thought my issue was cache related. Turns out I had a broken npm-shrinkwrap.json, so this issue isn't relevant to me anymore. Feel free to leave it open if you want to investigate further.
