Invalid path in Heroku

Question

Everytime I try to deploy my rails app onto heroku it says

Michael$ heroku create
Creating stormy-window-812..... done, stack is bamboo-mri-1.9.2
http://stormy-window-812.heroku.com/ | git@heroku.com:stormy-window-812.git

Michael$ git push heroku master

 !  Invalid path.
 !  Syntax is: git@heroku.com:.git where  is your app's name

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I'm not sure what's wrong. I do a normal heroku create and my git is working for github to load code. Is there something I'm missing? The path seems to be the right format so I don't know that the problem is.

Answer 1

Not sure if anyone else has ran into this same misunderstanding. The error from heroku mentions the url to your app needs to meet this syntax, "https://git.heroku.com/my-app.git".

This did not work for me. However, the syntax, "my-app.herokuapp.com", resolved the error.

Answer 2

It also be as simple as:

1. $ heroku login
2. $ heroku git:clone -a appname ( this line right here solved it for me)
3. $ git add .
4. $ git commit -am "make it better"
5. $ git push heroku master

Answer 3

My .git/config was clearly dorked - I attempted changing to first_app as shown above (newby: RoR Tutorial chapter 1) several times. Deleting the /.git/config and doing the steps above starting with 'git init' fixed the config: url = git@heroku.com:dry-eyrie-8108.git

Answer 4

I had this problem after renaming my app. If you do
heroku rename newname

you will then have to do
git remote rm heroku
git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:newname.git

Answer 5

Your .git/config is borked.

Ensure that the remote for heroku points to:

git@heroku.com:stormy-window-812.git

Answer 6

There must be a bit of misstep somewhere in your process, I created a sample app, using the following commands - hopefully this will help you identify where things aren't going right.

Just the list of commands:

$ rails new sample_app
$ cd sample_app/
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open

And the commands, with some truncated output:

$ rails new sample_app
    create  
    create  README
    create  Rakefile
    create  config.ru
    create  .gitignore
# ..snip..

$ cd sample_app/

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /sample_app/.git/

$ git add .

$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

I think you need to cd into your app directory. Then do the push again.

Also, make sure you add heroku as your remote then you can try again:

git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:appname.git
