I’m on Ubuntu 20, working on a Rails 7 project. I’ve succesfully created a Heroku app using heroku create appname and then deployed the Rails app using git push heroku master.

The app/website is accessible and works fine on Heroku, but I’m not being able to run most console commands using the Heroku cli.

I can deploy as described above, and also set environment variables via heroku config:set TWILIO_KEY='123', but commands like heroku run rails db:migrate, heroku run rails console and most if not any other commands that I try to run via heroku run command return the following error (IP changes every time):

Running rails console on ⬢ appname... done
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 54.175.164.234:5000

Right after I run any of these commands from my console, I can see the app logs on Heroku updating accordingly and throwing an error.

For example, for the heroku run rails console command executed above, the app logs show:

2022-05-31T00:42:11.048694+00:00 app[api]: Starting process with command `rails console` by user [email protected]

2022-05-31T00:45:04.332006+00:00 heroku[run.6356]: Error R13 (Attach error) -> Failed to attach to process
2022-05-31T00:45:04.389840+00:00 heroku[run.6356]: State changed from up to complete

The Heroku docs do not provide more information on R13 or status 128 error codes.

The error code itself does not provide any other information regarding the connection to what is failing either. Could it be the DB? The connection to Heroku itself is clearly not the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.
