I'm trying to revive an old Rails application I worked on several years ago. I'm using ruby 2.3.3 and rails 3.2.15 on the Heroku-16 stack with ClearDB for my MySQL database with the mysql2 adapter. When deploying to Heroku it succeeds on the deploy but crashes when it tries to start the app.
Full stack trace from the Heroku log (updated after fixing activerecord-import gem version per suggestion in first answer):

BUNDLED WITH

I've been beating my head against this all day, reading every Stack Overflow and support article I could find and haven't figured out where my configuration is wrong.
Looks like you're running into compatibility issues trying to use the latest version of the activerecord-import gem at the time of writing (released in October 2020) with activerecord 3.2.22.5 (released in September 2016). You do mention it's a rails 3.2.15 app but you're not using activerecord 3.2.15 which is confusing.
Try using activerecord-import 0.4.1 (released in July 2013) and activerecord 3.2.15 which should be compatible with rails 3.2.15.
