使用bootstrap-sass gem使用twitter bootstrap 3和rails

Question

Right now my bootstrap css version is v2.3.2 with following gem

gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 2.3.2.1'

I tried to upgrade it by using following configuration

gem 'bootstrap-sass', git: 'https://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass.git', branch: '3'

But after restarting the server and everything the version remained the same

So I tried bundle exec rake convert , maybe it could fix the problem

But it kept throwing

Don't know how to build task 'convert'

So does anyone have any idea how to implement bootstrap v3 into my rails project ??

Answer 1

I had to run this command

rake tmp:clear

In order to clear the cache from bootstrap v2 files

Answer 2

As per the instructions at rubygems.org, you have to run this command to get the new gem. I assume this is because it is using release candidates.

$ gem install bootstrap-sass --pre

I don't know how you would do this in the Gemfile.

Answer 3

The bootstrap-sass github page is not so clear. You don't need to run the convert task unless you're working or developing the gem itself. You just need to follow the bootstrap-sass rails install guide
