Heroku's CLI release has breaking changes that affected the output we used to process backups and restores.

Options for resolution:

  • Grep the new output format
  • Use JSON format output and parse with jq
  • Rewrite Parity as a plugin
  • Abandon backup/restore commands

I agree with what you just said in Slack: parsing JSON with jq is likely the best path forward. Though maybe using it as a plugin allows better integration?

I know I'm not the maintainer, but I do really appreciate using the backup/restore commands. They're one of my most-used commands; certainly they save me the most time.

UPDATE: the backup/restore failures may have been resolved in an auto-update, but given the number of changes that recently happened I think moving away from relying on unformatted output is not safe.

I'm closing for now, since we haven't had any breaking changes to the CLI since this issue opened.
