heroku-run-local

The Ruby version of heroku-run-local is deprecated

As the Heroku CLI moves from Ruby to Node.js, this version of the plugin has been deprecated and is no longer being developed. Please use the node version instead: it has full feature parity.

Overview

A heroku plugin to run a command locally with the config vars of a heroku app.

This can be useful to, e.g., run migrations against a production application before deploying the corresponding code that depends on them, or to iterate more quickly without having to deploy small changes to a staging environment individually.

Usage

heroku run:local COMMAND --app sushi

Note that if you use any direct environment variable references in your command, you'll need to escape them or quote them. Otherwise, they will be interpreted by your shell before being passed to the Heroku CLI. For example:

$ heroku run:local psql '$DATABASE_URL' --app sushi
Pager usage (pager) is off.
psql (9.4beta2, server 9.3.5)
SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.2, cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, bits: 256, compression: off)
Type "help" for help.

sushi::DATABASE=>

(This is more or less equivalent to heroku pg:psql DATABASE_URL).
