Thanks for that, very helpful. As it happens we have two stagings instances.

I just tried to run our cucumber and rspec tests on the latter, and got the following

saasbook@saasbook:~/Documents/github/LocalSupport$ heroku run rake cucumber
The plugin heroku-sql-console has been deprecated. Would you like to remove it? (y/N) N
Running rake cucumber attached to terminal... up, run.5774
Cucumber rake task is not available. Be sure to install cucumber as a gem or plugin
saasbook@saasbook:~/Documents/github/LocalSupport$ heroku run rake spec
The plugin heroku-sql-console has been deprecated. Would you like to remove it? (y/N) N
Running rake spec attached to terminal... up, run.6431

we have cucumber in our GemFile,

https://github.com/tansaku/LocalSupport/blob/master/Gemfile

I tried again with bundle exec:

saasbook@saasbook:~/Documents/github/LocalSupport$ heroku run bundle exec rake cucumber
The plugin heroku-sql-console has been deprecated. Would you like to remove it? (y/N) N
Running bundle exec rake cucumber attached to terminal... up, run.9378
Cucumber rake task is not available. Be sure to install cucumber as a gem or plugin

saasbook@saasbook:~/Documents/github/LocalSupport$ heroku run bundle exec rake spec
The plugin heroku-sql-console has been deprecated. Would you like to remove it? (y/N) N
Running bundle exec rake spec attached to terminal... up, run.5147

It looks like the specs might have run although I am not clear where I should look for the output. I tried heroku logs, but saw nothing related to tests.

Is there a dev article on actually running cucumber and rspec on heroku? It seems like a lot of people would want to do this.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6137747/how-do-you-run-rspec-and-cucumber-on-heroku

I can see lots of different suggestions scattered all over those stack overflow posts - would be nice to hear from Heroku about the recommended procedure.

Many thanks in advance

p.s. I really like the heroku-sql-console but I keep getting this message "the plugin heroku-sql-console has been deprecated. Would you like to remove it? (y/N)" can I get rid of that somehow?
p.p.s. is there some way to make this support request public so that my entire open source team can see it?
