Any chance that basic accounts will be given their first worker free
at any point?

Re: error installing heroku gem (ruby 1.9 / mac os x)

devyn.cai...@gmail.com (Devyn Cairns) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:48:20 UT

Yeah, I can confirm the same issue on Arch Linux. This appears to have
something to do with Ruby 1.9. First of all, the 'json' gem is unnecessary
on 1.9, it is included in the standard library.

You'd need to configure Pony similarly to how this plugin does it:

Has anyone had any luck using Pony ([link]) on

My ActionMailer emails are getting sent correctly, but I'm not having
any luck sending via Pony.

Hey there,
Like dynos, a worker is charged while it is active whether or not
there is work for it to do.

Question about Heroku Workers

yuri.niya...@gmail.com (Yuri Niyazov) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:19:37 UT

I installed DJ into my app, and ran "heroku workers 1"
My question is: do I get charged for having a worker up and available
for processing, or do I get charged only when the worker actually has
some work to do?

You can set it with a config var:

Re: Request Time Out problem

devyn.cai...@gmail.com (Devyn) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:02:59 UT

I would use a background job to process the information—Heroku does
not support long-running HTTP requests for performance reasons. This
will give a better user experience anyway. Just have the information
loaded through AJAX (poll for the status)

Fixing PGError: ERROR: canceling statement due to statement timeout

Workers can't work because the queue is so large that looking for the
next job times out.

Re: running multiline command in console

r...@donortools.com (Ryan Heneise) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:04:57 UT

Yes, I think this is because the Heroku console evaluates each line as
it's being sent. In this way it's more like Capistrano's shell than ./
script/console or irb.
What I would do is condense that into an inline block like this:
people.each{ |person| puts person.to_s }
If you need more complicated statements your best bet is to run it as

Re: Request Time Out problem

r...@donortools.com (Ryan Heneise) — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:52:16 UT

My advice would be to pull data from the external website in the
background and then cache the result. In fact, any time a request
depends on an external resource, the best practice is to relegate it
to the background. You could then refresh the cache manually or set a
cron job to refresh the cache every hour.

Heroku gem install failures on 1.9.1p243 due to json-1.1.0

jon.for...@gmail.com (Jon) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:53:09 UT

There are a number of issues [1] [2] [3] with heroku gem failures due
to the dependency on json-1.1.0. There are not yet any clarifying
responses as to why a more recent version of json can not be used.
The heroku gem used to install and work fine for my setup up through
1.5.2, but every version since then appears to be broken.

Re: running multiline command in console

pe...@heroku.com (Pedro Belo) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:37:05 UT

Yes, multiline commands are not currently supported.
You can always abbreviate commands into a one liner though. Or yeah
writing a rake task might be the best option.
