I expect this to be a n00b problem.
I'm attempting to use heroku with my rails app. Everything works fine in development (local machine), but when I push to heroku I get the following:
==> dyno-1931938.log (crash) <==

lines 16 and 17 of my_model.rb are:
class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_paranoid
'acts_as_paranoid' is a vendor plugin that was installed locally via:
$git clone https://github.com/goncalossilva/rails3_acts_as_paranoid.git
What am I doing wrong that heroku is ignoring the plugin?
UPDATE: I cloned the repo from heroku, and the directory for the plugin exists, but is empty. My other plugins (i.e. ssl_requirement) have the expect lib/ and init.rb. Obviously the code needs to be there to work. What now?
It turns out vendor/plugins/my_plugin_directory had fallen out of the git tree. I resolved the problem by:
$cd rails_root_directory
$git fsck
$git rm --cached vendor/plugins/my_plugin_directory
$git add vendor/plugins/my_plugin_directory/*
$git commit -am "my_plugin added to repository"
$git push heroku master
and all is right now.
