Heroku app rename action is not supported
Closed this issue · 3 comments
After renaming Heroku app wwwhisper add-on stooped work correctly.
By opening Heroku app in the browser I got message:
Invalid request URL, you can use wwwhisper admin to allow requests from this address.
Add-on admin panel (...wwwhisper/admin/) also was not available.
I had to remove and add add-on once again to make it work and have access to the admin panel.
This is pretty difficult to solve. To correctly handle Mozilla Persona authentication, wwwhisper needs to know URLs that are used to access the app. Unfortunately, when an app is renamed, Heroku does not sent information about this to add-ons that the app uses. The only solution that works right now, is to use wwwhispe/admin panel before the rename (so using an old URL) to add a new URL. But a user would need to somehow know and remember about this, which is unrealistic.
Hi, I am facing this same issue in 2020. Is the only solution to disable and recreate wwwhisper for the new renamed application for it to work properly?
EDIT
Here are the steps in case someone wants to rename their app:
- Put app in maintenance mode on Heroku.
- Destroy and recreate the wwwhisper add-on.
Unfortunately, this is the only way to get it work properly as of now.
This is no longer an issue, wwwhisper is now switched to a new version of the Heroku add-on API and when app URL changes, the change is automatically detected and requests from new URL are allowed.
