We manage a production and staging environment without any problem on 
Heroku, we followed these instructions :

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/multiple-environments

I dont think the problem you have with the test environnement is related to 
heroku ? 

Anyway, you probably don't want to hit RabbitMQ in your unit tests, to 
avoid that we use a facade class with Rails.env.test? in the ruby code. All 
the environment variables related to external services are filled with 
dummy values in the test.rb config file.

For example we would have :
RABITMQ_URL = "fake_url"

If our test suite fails because of a failed connection to RabbitMQ it means 
one of our test is not properly stubbed (which is a good piece of 
information !)

If anyone have a better solution, i would be happy to hear it.

Hope this helps,
Vincent
