Heroku will not launch because of spatial adapter error

I'm trying to deploy a Rails application to Heroku that uses PostGIS for some location-based information. I followed Heroku's documentation on installing PostGIS (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/postgis) on my database but I'm encountering the following error from the spatial_adapter gem:

/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/spatial_adapter-1.2.0/lib/spatial_adapter/railtie.rb:4:in `block in <class:Railtie>': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

from script/rails:6:in `require'

Any ideas about what's causing this error? Thanks in advance!

The github page for the spatial_adapter gem says that this adapter is no longer being maintained and that the RGeo gem should be used instead. I used the following tutorial to convert my application to the new gem: http://www.waratuman.com/2012/10/26/postgis_and_rails/

Problem solved!
