Heroku command error .local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: - heroku

Question

My heroku toolbelt had been working fine until last week that it's giving me this error on all heroku commands.
$ heroku run console -a abc
/Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory
/Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/songserm/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory
I didn't know that my heroku has been auto upgraded, but what has changed is I installed heroku-vi addon around the time. Not sure if it's the case.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
Noted that I installed heroku on my Mac using homebrew.

Answer 1

Cause:
This also happened to me, the client auto-updated but didn't do so properly:
heroku run console
heroku-cli: Updating to 6.11.14-c5f9179... 12.9 MB/12.9 MB
/Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory
/Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: line 21: /Users/steves/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/node: No such file or directory
Solution:
The resolution was to re-install the client using the following (as found here https://github.com/heroku/cli/issues/485):
rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku/client
I then checked using the status command and it re-installed correctly:
heroku status
heroku-cli: Updating to 6.11.14-c5f9179... 12.9 MB/12.9 MB

Heroku-error-Not a directory
Not a directory Error when executing Heroku commands
heroku
▸ stat /User/xxx/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: not a directory
▸ fork/exec /User/xxx/.local/share/heroku/client/bin/heroku: not a directory
Solution is to remove previous directory
rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku/client

Answer 3

A quick workaround for me was to remove this file.
rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku
And I was able to acces heroku console easily.

Answer 4

As everyone said the solution is:
deleting the heroku client with the following console command:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku/plugins
But if you continue having problems you have to delete the heroku plugins folder:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/heroku/plugins
Then you can excecute the command
heroku status
To reinstall correctly
$ heroku status
