Can't scale workers in Cedar apps about heroku.rb HOT 5 CLOSED

@vince - that message isn't very helpful since it is CLI specific, but heroku.rb should be able to do it. You can see how it works in the CLI here fwiw: https://github.com/heroku/heroku/blob/master/lib/heroku/command/ps.rb#L191. Long story short, what you want is post_ps_scale(app, process, amount). Let me know if you have any further issues. Thanks!

@geemus It's the message back from the heroku service; it's not my fault that its not helpful. Are you misunderstanding that I'm trying to scale dynos and not the workers? Possibly I'm not sure what to enter for "process" to scale a worker.

@vince - Sorry, by no means did I think or mean that it was your fault that wasn't helpful. It is just bad messaging for non-CLI, which is what it is. I was also totally mistunderstanding the worker vs dyno/process scaling portion of this, so again, apologies. I believe you can use that code and use the special value workers for the process along with the app in question in quantity to get what you want.

@geemus Thanks - actually it ended up being 'worker':

heroku_client.post_ps_scale(APP_NAME 'worker', NUM_WORKERS)

Might want to stick that in the README, else happy to fork and submit a pull request with that change. Let me know.

@vince - a pull request would be awesome if you are up for it. Thanks!
