Is it possible to run my Rails app on Heroku with Ruby 1.9.3? If so, how?

Question

I tried this tip: https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop/pull/14#issuecomment-3192270 .

On deploy I see

-----> Using RUBY_VERSION: ruby-1.9.3-p0

Here's an update for everyone referencing this question... Heroku now allows you to specify your ruby version in your Gemfile, thanks to their addition to the latest version of bundler.

First run:

gem install bundler --pre

then add ruby '1.9.3' to your Gemfile as such.

source 'http://rubygems.org'

ruby '1.9.3'
gem  'rails', '3.2.3'
