Rails 3 “Application Error” when deploying to Heroku

Question

I have pushed my Rails 3 app to Heroku but when I attempt to open it in the browser I get an "Application Error."

Running 'heroku logs' returns the following:

Running 'heroku run bundle exec rails console" returns the following:

You'd think there would be an obvious 'end' somewhere that is causing this error but I am certain that this is not the case. The lines of code that the error is referring to has worked before, so I am not sure what happened.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Edit 1: Here is referred to code from my stripe_events_controller. Notice the comma that I accidentally left in (right before the comment). Geez!

def parse_and_validate_event
  @event = StripeEvent.new(event_id: params[:id], event_type: params[:type])

  unless @event.save    # attempts to save to db
    if @event.valid?    # checks to see if unique
  render nothing: true, status: 400 # valid event, try again later
else
  render nothing: true, # invalid event, move along
end
  end
end

Answer 1

The error is clear:

/app/app/controllers/stripe_events_controller.rb:46: syntax error, unexpected $end,
expecting keyword_end

Perhaps your code has not been committed to source control and pushed? This is not an error on Heroku.
