Why is 'heroku create' doing nothing?

Question

I opened a heroku account.
I followed the instructions on http://docs.heroku.com/quickstart.
I have a working rails app which I have deployed successfully elsewhere.
I have a github account that works.
I have a local git repository for my rails app. I installed the heroku gem. It shows up in my gem list. I typed 'heroku create' at the command prompt... My command console showed that it was thinking about it, but did nothing. No errors. No action.

Possible related facts: I am using a Windows 7 machine. I have also failed miserably at deploying with capistrano with a similar--issue command, get no response--pattern.

I'm pretty sure now that its a windows issue. Since I posted this I installed Ubuntu via VirtualBox on the same machine. I ran heroku create on the same app through a ruby/rails there and it worked as expected. — vlasits

Heroku is a commercial company. You could ask support there. Heroku guys know about the gem better than anybody. — TK.

I'm pretty sure now that it's a Windows issue. I don't know what exactly, it could be that the heroku gem doesn't support a Windows environment very well, or it could be something else. However, since my original post I installed Ubuntu via VirtualBox on the same machine. From that installation I ran heroku create on the same app and it worked as expected.

This is a 12 year old issue that involves rapidly evolving technology. Not sure you should rely on anything here in 2022
