Heroku Error: ArgumentError: invalid uri scheme ''

问题

I'm trying to get my Rails app to process background jobs with Sidekiq and to connect Sidekiq with redis-to-go on Heroku. Here's my Procfile:

web: bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb
worker: bundle exec -C config/sidekiq.yml

Here's my the Sidekiq.rb intializer file:

require 'sidekiq'

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|  
  config.redis = { url: ENV['REDIS_PROVIDER'] }
end 

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|  
   config.redis = { url: ENV['REDIS_PROVIDER'] }
end

The REDIS_PROVIDERvariable is set to REDISTOGO_URL in Heroku. Per the instructions provided here I added an intializer file redis.rb as well. Here are the contents:

uri = URI.parse(ENV["REDIS_PROVIDER"])
REDIS = Redis.new(:url => uri)

I'm getting the following error and not sure how to resolve it. Heroku is also throwing an H10 error

[3] ! Unable to load application: ArgumentError: invalid uri scheme '

/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.2.0/gems/redis-3.3.0/lib/redis/client.rb:416:in `_parse_options': invalid uri scheme '' (ArgumentError)

UPDATE:

I rolled back to a previous version on Heroku and removed the redis gem from the gemfile, removed the redis intializer file, and the app is no longer crashing. However background jobs still aren't working and I'm getting these errors in the log:

heroku/worker.1:  Starting process with command `bundle exec -C config/sidekiq.yml`
heroku/worker.1:  State changed from starting to up
app/worker.1:  bundler: command not found: -C 
heroku/worker.1:  Process exited with status 127 
heroku/worker.1:  State changed from up to crashed 
app/worker.1:  Install missing gem executables with `bundle install`

Why is the system not accepting the config parameter causing the worker to crash?

The error of the invalid uri scheme persists:

app/web.1:  Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 303ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms) 
app/web.1:  ArgumentError (invalid uri scheme ''):
