How to fix "Could not detect rake tasks" when deploying to Heroku

As I tried to deploy https://retrofeed.me to Heroku, I faced a charming error about bootnsap/setup.

Solution 1: downgrade (dirty fix)

I tried a lot of things before I finally found this reddit post, with a comment about this discussion.

And the fix was easy: use bundler v2.1.4 instead of v2.2.1.

Just check your Gemfile.lock and the version its using in the BUNDLED WITH section at the end of the file.

In my case, I simply ran gem uninstall bundler which removed v2.2.1 and kept the default v2.1.4, but here are some helpful commands for you:

gem uninstall bundler # To remove faulty versions
gem list | grep bundler # Find which bundler versions are installed on your system
gem install bundler --version '2.1.4' # Install a specific version of bundler
bundle _2.1.4_ update # Update with a specific version of bundler

You also need to update your Gemfile.lock. For this I'm not sure what's the proper way to do this: (I think) you can simply edit the version under BUNDLED WITH. bundle _2.1.4_ update will update your gems and the version number * If you're just getting started, you can also trash your Gemfile.lock and run bundle install since it probably won't mess with your gems (it's what I did…).

Solution 2: add the x86_64-linux platform

About a week later Richard @schneems Schneeman, who works at Heroku, tweeted this.

The Github issue points to a better solution:

bundle lock --add-platform x86_64-linux

I updated to the latest bundler version

gem update bundler
bundle _2.2.5_ update

and deployed to Heroku without any issue. 🎉
