Boot failure due to missing pids directory

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Bug with heroku/7.30.0 darwin-x64 node-v11.14.0.

What is the current behavior?

With a Rails project lacking a /tmp/pids folder invoking heroku local fails to boot the app.

The error is Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - tmp/pids/server.pid.

Workaround: running rails server and then running heroku local again fixes the problem since rails server creates the pids folder if missing.

What is the expected behavior?

The Heroku CLI should also create the pids directory if missing.

We generally don't create files in your projects without being ask or asking permission. We could provide a better error message though.
