Brand new macbook pro, installed xcode-tools, installed homebrew, brew installed heroku. Everything looks ok. "which heroku" shows the correct install location, and there wasn't one to point to before anyway.
Running heroku -v takes 4 minutes to give the answer, I see a node process running at 99% cpu for 4 minutes before getting back the answer and the node process terminates. Running heroku update works correctly but again - a 20 minute process. Running anything else takes hours.
Node v9.6.1 heroku cli 6.15.26
Seeing this too, exactly as described. Node v9.8.0 / Heroku CLI 6.15.31.
I deleted the .netrc file in my home folder, with info had somehow been corrupted. After the deletion and a restart everything worked perfectly. cmd+shift+period in home folder to show hidden files.
Deleted the .netrc file worked for me as well. I just searched for it. Thanks @ thegmann.
