带有Rails 4的twitter-bootstrap-rails 4.0.0

Question

https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails says: Twitter Bootstrap for Rails 5 and Rails 4 Asset Pipeline

but after bundle install I see this:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "actionpack":
  In Gemfile:
    rails (= 4.1.7) was resolved to 4.1.7, which depends on
      actionpack (= 4.1.7)

    twitter-bootstrap-rails (~> 4.0.0) was resolved to 4.0.0, which depends on
      actionpack (>= 5.0.1, ~> 5.0)

Is it possible to make twitter-bootstrap-rails 4.0.0 worked with Rails 4.1.7?

Answer 1

Version you are using for twitter-bootstrap-rails is 4.0.0 having dependency on rails >= 5.0.1, ~> 5.0 you can check here .

Use version 3.2.0 instead, it will work for you.

gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails", '~> 3.2.0'

Answer 2

• Cloned twitter-bootstrap-rails repo
• Analyzed latest commits
• Changed gemspecs
• ????
• PROFIT!!!

Answer 3

I vote for using bootstrap 4 WITHOUT gem.

In some cases and my experiences, this kind of implementation need less work when we integrate it to Rails manually :

• download all the needed CSS, Java, creatives
• put them all in the proper Rails assets folder
• include them properly on the assets main file ( application.js, application.css, images )
• use it by following the proper guide from the bootstrap website
• have a desired looks as you wish

This way, you won't have to worries about gem dependencies or even ruby and rails versions.

And totally welcoming any better ideas than mine.
