Heroku creates a crash command - no such file or directory

Question

I am trying to deploy my first rails application to heroku, and unfortunately I get an error message when I run the heroku create command:

 @ C:\railsprojects\sample_app> heroku create The system cannot find the path specified. Creating protected-reaches-1026... done, stack is cedar http://protected-reaches-1026.herokuapp.com/ | [e-mail] :protected-reaches-1026.git ! Heroku client internal error. ! Search for help at: https://help.heroku.com ! Or report a bug at: https://github.com/heroku/heroku/issues/new Error: No such file or directory - git --version (Errno::ENOENT) Backtrace: C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/helpers.rb:103:in ``' C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/helpers.rb:103:in `has_git?' C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/helpers.rb:108:in `git' C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/helpers.rb:156:in `create_git_remote' C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/command/apps.rb:255:in `create' C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/command.rb:206:in `run' C:/Users/paul/.heroku/client/lib/heroku/cli.rb:28:in `start' C:/Program Files (x86)/Heroku/bin/heroku:29:in `<main>' Command: heroku create Version: heroku/toolbelt/2.39.4 (i386-mingw32) ruby/1.9.3 

My initial thought is that GIT is not in the way or cannot be called otherwise, but I eliminated this as part of the problem by simply doing git --version :

 @ C:\railsprojects\sample_app> git --version git version 1.8.3.msysgit.0 

So everything seems to be in order. Does anyone else know what could go wrong?

I am running Windows 7, and the Heroku client version is heroku/toolbelt/2.39.4 (i386-mingw32) ruby/1.9.3 .

Answer 1

The name of the application you want to create should not be specified. How heroku create application_name . That's what this says.
