How to stop deployment to Heroku in progress

Is it possible to stop a deploy to Heroku (git push heroku) that is currently being built?

Something like heroku run stopit!

Btw. rolling back after successful deploy is not what I'm looking for.

Solution

  • First, install the Heroku builds plugin:

    heroku plugins:install heroku-builds

    Then, to cancel a build, fetch the list of the recent builds:

    heroku builds -a YOUR_APP_NAME

    The first line of the output will be your currently running build, the first column is the build ID.

    Cancel it with:

    heroku builds:cancel BUILD_ID -a YOUR_APP_NAME

    Et voilà, this will force fail the build.

    Note: you could also get the build id from the build log URL.
