"bundler: failed to load command: thin" on Heroku

Question

I'm using Ruby 2.2.7, and Rails 3.2.21, and trying to deploy an with gem: locomotive_cms of version: ~> 2.5.7 on Heroku, and it gets deployed successfully, but I'm facing the following error:

2017-08-12T23:33:13.732440+00:00 app[web.1]: bundler: failed to load command: thin (/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.2.0/bin/thin) 2017-08-12T23:33:13.732490+00:00 app[web.1]: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.2.0/gems/excon-0.23.0/lib/excon/middlewares/expects.rb:6:in `response_call'

And with that, it produces this too:

Heroku::API::Errors::ErrorWithResponse: Expected(200) <=> Actual(400 Bad Request)

I have thin in my Gemfile which is necessary for locomotivecms according to its documentation.

I have been on other similar questions too, but I'm still unable to solve my problem. I have Ruby version: 2.2.7, and while it is saying: /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.2.0/bin/thin

Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby "2.2.7"

gem 'rails', '3.2.21'

# Bundle edge Rails instead:

Sorry in advance for the bad news.

I've taking a look at your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock, and also at the PR https://github.com/locomotivecms/locomotive-heroku/pull/11 and the latest 2.5.x branch of locomotive_cms at https://github.com/locomotivecms/engine/tree/v2.5.x. You've reached the end of functionality due to the lack of maintenance on the versions of the Gems that you depend on.

locomotive_cms has been renamed to locomotivecms and bumped to version 3+. The locomotive_cms gem is no longer maintained. Not only that, but it's no longer compatible with a bunch of the other dependencies you're using, namely excon.

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "excon":
  In Gemfile:
    locomotive_cms was resolved to 2.5.8, which depends on
      fog (~> 1.12.1) was resolved to 1.12.1, which depends on
        excon (~> 0.23.0)

    locomotive-heroku was resolved to 0.1.0, which depends on
      heroku-api (~> 0.3.23) was resolved to 0.3.23, which depends on
        excon (~> 0.44)

You're going to want to go through the upgrade guide at https://locomotive-v3.readme.io/docs/upgrade-to-v3.
