Heroku toolbelt fails update

Question

I\'m trying to get Heroku toolbelt working and it\'s a total nightmare. The install runs successfully, but when I run heroku update I get:

    $ heroku upda         


        

Answer 1

Heroku support finally helped me fix this. Long story short, if you're having this issue, just run:

$ rm -rf ~/.heroku/client

Then reinstall the Heroku Toolbelt from http://toolbelt.heroku.com

If you want the long answer, here you go:

There appear to be some edge cases where update ended up with some incorrect data and it is somewhat more difficult to recover from this. If you first delete the ~/.heroku/client directory and subsequently run the installer you should end up with a working result.
