"No Procfile detected" in Sinatra app heroku push - heroku

I am new with Sinatra and heroku. I am trying to push a small Sinatra app to heroku and I am getting this error,
Bundle completed (24.34s)
Cleaning up the bundler cache.
-----> WARNINGS:

I have tried many things that I have seen online and This error still appears. Sorry if this is a silly question But its driving me nuts! If you would like to see anymore files in the app I will happily add them, I am just not to sure what ones to add..
Thank you for your time and I appreciate your help.

Procfile tells Heroku about different process types (commands) your application can run. For Ruby apps, Heroku expects you to declare at least one web process type, and also automatically initiates two additional processes by default: rake and console.
This means that your Ruby app should be able to run a web process (this is the process that actually serves web pages and assets), run rake tasks, and provide you with a shell-like console (access it by running heroku run console in top-level of your app).
All you need to do is add a blank text file called Procfile to the top level folder of your app, with just one line of code (if you're using Rack):
web: bundle exec rackup config.ru -p $PORT
Or if you're using pure Sinatra (without Rack):
web: bundle exec ruby web.rb -p $PORT
You should really read Define a Procfile and The Procfile in Heroku's dev center to clear up any confusion.

Ruby: Unable to start worker - check_for_activated_spec

I am unable to run some of my jobs in sidekiq. And it seems to be somehow related to Bundler.. Maybe.
when I run my puma server with pumactl start in the logs I am getting:
[156149] ! Unable to start worker
[156149] /home/todd/.rbenv/versions/2.7.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/bundler-2.3.25/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:309:in `check_for_activated_spec!'
Currently I'm on sidekiq 6.5.6 and Bundler 2.3.25
Anyone know of any issues with those two versions or anything else that may be causing this?
EDIT:
The interesting thing is when I start puma with bundle exec pumactl start I get a totally different error:
[ActionDispatch::HostAuthorization::DefaultResponseApp] Blocked host:
But my host is defined in my development.rb file.. in fact I've added the following, so NO hosts should be blocked:
config.hosts << /.*\.ngrok\.io/
config.hosts.clear
Then finally if I just start puma with a rails s all is fine, just my sidekiq worker won't run correctly.
Let's say that you want to start using Rails and one day you follow the general installation instructions which say that you should run this command:
gem install rails
And you get this output:
...
Successfully installed rails-7.0.1
You also start working with puma and sidekiq and install those gems for the convenience of running pumactl start and sidekiq:
gem install puma
...
Successfully installed puma-5.6.2
gem install sidekiq
...
Successfully installed sidekiq-6.4.2
Then after a day or a week or a month of tinkering you create a new Rails app:
rails new app
And since you want to use Sidekiq you add that to your Gemfile, which looks something like this:
# frozen_string_literal: true
source 'https://rubygems.org'
git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }
gem "puma", "~> 5.6.2"
gem "rails", "~> 7.0.1"
gem "sidekiq", "~> 6.0"
But you know that there are newer versions of those gems so you update your Gemfile to look like this:
# frozen_string_literal: true
source 'https://rubygems.org'
git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }
gem "puma", "~> 6.0.0"
gem "rails", "~> 7.0.4"
gem "sidekiq", "~> 7.0"
And then you run bundle install and the gems update. Or maybe you don't change the versions, but some day run bundle update which uses the ~> versioning operator and updates the gems to newer versions.
Here's where you're going to start running into compatibility problems.
First problem:
When you installed the sidekiq and puma and rails gems to run their scripts like pumactl they were installed using gem install ... which installed them globally and with a specific version.
When you added them to your Rails app and updated the versions they were installed separately by bundler with specific versions that are noted in Gemfile.lock.
Now your global version of puma is 5.6.2 and your bundled version of puma is 6.0.0.
Trying to manage puma using an old version of the CLI with a new version of the gem isn't guaranteed to work and can introduce hard-to-pinpoint problems. The same is true of the rails and sidekiq gems and any gem with a CLI.
Second problem:
When you run scripts like pumactl they aren't necessarily going to look at your application's Gemfile.lock and they aren't guaranteed to see or respect bundler's configuration for your Rails app when it loads it.
When you run scripts prefixed with bundle exec (like bundle exec sidekiq) it uses bundler to look at your bundled environment and ensure that all the dependencies are properly loaded.
Trying to run a bundled application without bundle exec can introduce hard-to-pinpoint problems. The same is true for any gems that have CLI tools.
Short answer
Always use bundle exec ... to run gem CLIs in your app, whether it's bundle exec rails server or bundle exec puma or bundle exec sidekiq. This will ensure that your app is started or managed using the bundled gem rather than the global version.
If you see errors when starting your app using bundle exec ... then pay attention to them because they are indicative of actual problems that need to be addressed. Likewise, if you do see errors with bundle exec but don't see errors when starting your app using globally installed gems then pay attention to them because it means your app is not portable -- it's likely that it is papering over bugs to make the app run and that your app will not run on another computer.
Extended answer
pumactl start gives you an error -- probably because you aren't using bundle exec.
bundle exec pumactl start gives you a different error -- possibly because you're bypassing the standard way to start Rails; pumactl will read configu.ru and config/puma.rb and decide how it wants to start Rails. Use bundle exec rails server instead.
rails s doesn't load your sidekiq worker -- because you aren't using bundle exec rails s it likely can't see the things it's supposed to see to start properly, because it isn't using your bundled app config
Because the errors that you're reporting are due to a misconfiguration of your system and app I can't give you any more detailed answers. You need to fix your configuration first and determine which of the three different errors you're experiencing is valid. It's a lot of work to try to work through all three questions. A standard "vote to close" reason for questions is:
Needs more focus
This question currently includes multiple questions in one. It should focus on one problem only.
I'm not voting to close your question but I'm mentioning it in case it does get closed later.
I recommend that after you fix the misconfiguration you create a new post about that specific error with a minimal reproducible example.

Heroku not loading bundler for non-web ruby app

I have a program that I wrote using ruby. It doesn't have any web interface, but I use bundler for dependency management.
On my local system, running the app is as simple as typing rake app:start, and it loads up just fine.
When I deploy to heroku, however, my app crashes with a cannot load such file -- bundler error.
My Procfile looks has this entry app: bundle exec rake app:start.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The problem was that Heroku was not changing the GEM_HOME field to the vendor/bundle directory.
By adding the following config vars to Heroku, my app ran as expected:
GEM_HOME: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1
PATH: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin:bin:node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
Adding these was done via the heroku config:set CONFIG_NAME=VALUE command.

Sinatra + Heroku + Datamapper deploy issues with dm-sqlite-adapter

For some reason, heroku tries to require dm-sqlite-adapter, even though it should use Postgres here. Note, that this happens when I open any URL - not during the git push itself.
I built a default facebook app.
The Gemfile:
source :gemcutter
gem "foreman"
gem "sinatra"
gem "mogli"
gem "json"
gem "httparty"
gem "thin"
gem "data_mapper"
gem "heroku"
group :production do
gem "pg"
gem "dm-postgres-adapter"
end
group :development, :test do
gem "sqlite3"
gem "dm-sqlite-adapter"
end
Datamapper setup:
# Setting up the database
DataMapper.setup(:default, ENV['DATABASE_URL'] || "sqlite3://#{Dir.pwd}/data/mydatabase.db")
Relevant log fragment, when any URL is opened:
Starting process with command `bundle exec thin -R config.ru start -p 34984`
2012-01-18T15:11:55+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/dm-core-1.2.0/lib/dm-core/adapters.rb:163:in `require': no such file to load -- dm-sqlite-adapter (LoadError)
2012-01-18T15:11:55+00:00 app[web.1]: from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/dm-core-1.2.0/lib/dm-core/adapters.rb:163:in `load_adapter'
Tried related solutions, but with no help so far.
BTW: bundle install says Using do_postgres and Using dm-postgres-adapter. Am I missing something about Datamapper setup?
Well, too many Rails apps on Heroku, I took the shared db presence for granted. heroku config showed neither DATABASE_URL or SHARED_DATABASE_URL set.
Issuing heroku addons:add shared-database:5mb solved the problem.
Strange, that the db wasn't automatically added, despite having 'pg' gem in Gemfile.
Quote from http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cedar:
A Heroku shared PostgreSQL database (shared-database:5mb) will be
automatically added to your app in any of the following cases:
The app is a Rails application
The pg gem is specified in the Gemfile
Try doing DataMapper.setup(:default, ENV['DATABASE_URL'] || 'postgres://user:password#hostname/data/mydatabase.db') instead. Heroku is probably looking at the protocol, and therefore requiring SQLite’s dependencies.

JRuby with Sinatra on Heroku

I'm cloning this repo:
https://github.com/freeformz/sinatra-jruby-heroku.git
to try and use JRuby/Sinatra on Heroku's Cedar stack. I follow the included instructions and everything runs great locally with a 'foreman start'. I then git push to Heroku and it initially loads up fine but when I try to access the site I get an error in the logs:
jruby: No such file or directory -- trinidad (LoadError)
So it seems jruby can't find the "/app/.gems/bin/trinidad" file. I initially thought it wasn't there because .gems/ is in the .gitignore file, but I'm pretty sure Heroku creates that server side on a git push.
$APPDIR/.gems is added to the PATH so Heroku should be able to see the trinidad script. I've also tried to change the Procfile around to play with the path like:
web: script/jruby -S bin/trinidad -p $PORT
But no dice. Has anyone had any success deploying anything JRuby to Heroku cedar?
Thanks
As of Bundler 1.2 you are now able to specify the Ruby implementation and version in your Gemfile. The nice thing about this is that Heroku will understand these settings and prepare the your Heroku application for your environment.
Take this Gemfile for example:
source "https://rubygems.org"
ruby "1.9.3"
gem "rails"
gem "puma"
What's cool about this is that by default Celadon Cedar uses Ruby 1.9.2. However, when you specify ruby "1.9.3" in the Gemfile it'll actually compile Ruby 1.9.3 for your Heroku environment.
Now, if you want to add a different Ruby implementation to your Heroku environment, you can do so like this:
source "https://rubygems.org"
ruby "1.9.3", :engine => "jruby", :engine_version => "1.7.0.preview1"
gem "rails"
gem "puma"
Now it'll install and use JRuby 1.7.0.preview1 in Ruby 1.9 mode for your Heroku application upon deployment. It'll also even define the proper JVM options in the Heroku environment variables.
Best of all is that this comes with the official Heroku buildpack, so there is no need to switch to a 3rd party buildpack to get the JRuby/JVM going on Heroku. Although I haven't gotten it to work yet, this should also work with Rubinius, but I believe it's currently bugged. Either that, or I'm doing it wrong.
This is in my opinion an awesome and scalable feature. Just define the Ruby implementation/version/mode you're using in your Gemfile along with your other dependencies and Heroku will ensure the environment is prepared.
Now, with all this in place, Heroku should create binstubs (through Bundler) in APP_ROOT/bin so what you can do is for example this:
web: bin/trinidad -p $PORT -e $RACK_ENV --threaded
Just don't use bundle exec since JRuby doesn't play nice with that. Always use the binstubs provided by Bundler which are always located in APP_ROOT/bin on Heroku.
I believe the details about including gems on this blog entry might be helpful to you:
http://chris.chowie.net/2011/08/28/Sinatra-with-JRuby-on-Heroku/
I suspect that your gems are not in /app/.gems but rather in /app/vendor/bundle
You can find out by running this command:
heroku run ls /app/.gem
heroku run ls /app/vendor/bundle
Either way, you should probably add the GEM_HOME/bin to the path, and not the GEM_HOME as you state.
I've got a blog post on running Jruby and Trinidad on Heroku here:
http://deployingjruby.blogspot.com/2012/03/deploying-with-trinidad-on-heroku.html
And an example app here:
https://github.com/jkutner/jruby-trinidad-heroku
Some of the other material you may find is a little out of date.

Why is Heroku skipping precompile step in Rails 3.1 app?

I'm messing around with a rails 3.1 app and deploying to Heroku Cedar.
When pushing an app, Heroku skips over the precompile step without throwing an error:
Your bundle is complete! It was installed into ./vendor/bundle
Cleaning up the bundler cache.
-----> Writing config/database.yml to read from DATABASE_URL
-----> Rails plugin injection
Injecting rails_log_stdout
Injecting rails3_serve_static_assets
-----> Discovering process types
Procfile declares types -> (none)
Default types for Ruby/Rails -> console, rake, web, worker
-----> Compiled slug size is 16.2MB
-----> Launching... done, v35
The last time I pushed to Heroku (maybe a month ago) it had no problem precompiling assets.
gem 'rails', '3.1.1.rc2', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git', :branch => '3-1-stable'
UPDATE:
I was able to get Heroku to precompile by removing the following from application.rb:
if defined?(Bundler)
# If you precompile assets before deploying to production, use this line
Bundler.require *Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test))
# If you want your assets lazily compiled in production, use this line
# Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env)
end
and replacing with:
# If you have a Gemfile, require the gems listed there, including any gems
# you've limited to :test, :development, or :production.
Bundler.require *Rails.groups(:assets) if defined?(Bundler)
I know this may sound conceiting, but did you make sure you create the Heroku app with -stack cedar?
You could also check to see that sprockets is enabled as I did here when I was having the same problem.
