Doesn't work with rails 3.1 on Heroku cedar stack about bourbon

[mjankowski]

Hi David, what gems do you have installed? What does your production.rb config look like re: the asset pipeline?

Can you paste the relevant part of your application.css.sass ?

[mjankowski]

Can you also confirm how you are including the stylesheets from your layout?

[nhocki]

I've had that same problem on production. I've solved it by removing the 'assets' group from the Gemfile (weird).

Maybe that'll help.

[mjankowski]

Things maybe relevant to this, curious to hear what you guys are doing...

• In your config/application.rb, which Bundler.require line are you using?
• Do you have the sass-rails gem installed, or just sass gem?
• How do you include your stylesheets from the layout?
• Are you doing any "precompile" of assets or relying totally on heroku to do this?

I've had the same problem for several days and nothing seems to fix it. All versions of Bourbon give me the same problem : works for assets pre-compilation but I get an error message when running production on Heroku.

I have tried gem "bourbon" at the root of the Gemfile or in the "assets" group. I have also tried @import "bourbon" in the root sass file or in each of the imported sass files.

I am not using SCSS but SASS syntax, don't know if this might be an issue (I guess not).

[mjankowski]

Additional question to my previous batch -- make sure you've run rake rails:update to get the asset pipeline related changes to run in your production/staging/whatever environments on heroku.

[czj]

I forgot to say it is a brand new Rails 3.1 application, made from scratch for/with the assets pipeline / sass / bourbon or compass in mind.

[nickmjones]

I had the same issue. I did a 'bundle update' and the deployment seemed to work the second time. My config is totally plain vanilla, nearly bone-stock Rails 3.1. Having an "assets" group didn't seem to make a difference.

[mjankowski]

For anyone still having this issue - please provide us with the info that my 9/26 and 10/7 comments ask for so we can attempt to debug.

Same problem:

1

Bundler.require *Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test))

2

sass-rails installed

3

like this

@import "bourbon";
@import 'flutie';
@import 'scaffolds';

using application.css.scss

4

would like to use heroku to precompile during deployment

many thanks for any help!

I also got the same problem:

1. Bundler.require *Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test))
2. sass-rails installed
3. @import "bourbon"; (application.css.scss)
4. When I precompile the assets locally it works, but I'd like to rely totally on heroku

Thx in advance!

[czj]

One way to fix the problem might be to have a "main" css file without anything specific and not forgetting to include it in your application.rb :

# We need admin javascript & css assets to be precompiled too
config.assets.precompile += ['login.css', 'admin.css', 'admin.js']

Then your admin.css should be simple :

/*
*= require_tree ./admin
*/

It worked for me.

I still got this issue.
Rails 3.2
Bourbon is outside of the asset group. Works fine in dev, not on Heroku.
ctionView::Template::Error (File to import not found or unreadable: bourbon.

*= require bootstrap/bootstrap
*= require_self

*/

@import "bourbon";

[seivan]

Any progress on this?

[erikostling]

I'm also getting the same problem as @seivan when deploying a Rails 3.2.1 app to Heroku with bourbon 1.3.6.

(ps. Seems to be Active admin causing the problem though… ds)

(ps 2. This solved my problem: https://gist.github.com/1197686 ds.)

https://gist.github.com/1197686 also solve for me.

+1 for @rkleine15 and @erikostling tip.

Just a note - this isn't anything to do with Bourbon I don't think, rather the case that your app is trying to connect to the database when assets:precompile is run on heroku. There is an article here explaining the issue: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3x-asset-pipeline-cedar

The solution for me was to add the following line to config/application.rb

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

I then followed the Bourbon installation instructions for Rails 3.1.x as documented here: https://github.com/thoughtbot/bourbon

I am running Rails 3.2.1

[gmassanek]

@ugisozols gist fixed this for me, thanks! https://gist.github.com/1197686.
Note: I was having this issue on my own VPS, not Heroku. Using Rails 3.1.1

[gonzofy]

dtt101: thanks for that. Just ran into the same thing and it worked for me.

[goodtimeaj]

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false works for me. Thanks.

[mikekellyio]

@dtt101: excellent! that's the trick.

[darthniwo]

https://gist.github.com/1197686 is working just fine, I'm running rails 3.2.1, also tested on heroku
