end

if $redis.sismember "cart#{current_user_id}", id

else
"Add to"
end
end
end

movies_controller.rb

class MoviesController < ApplicationController

def index
@movies = Movie.all
end

def show
@movie = Movie.find(params[:id])
@cart_action = @movie.cart_action current_user.try :id
end

end

The weird about this error is that the application run without any
problem locally but when I deployed to heroku I can see the first page
but when I click to a movie or trying to log in i get error.

Any help?

You did not include the code that sets $redis, and I suspect that's where the problem is. Connecting to Redis on Heroku may be slightly different that local, since dynos are not guaranteed to continue existing between requests.
