Heroku not loading proper Bootstrap CSS files from Rails asset pipeline

Question

I tried deploying my rails app with newly added bootstrap to it and a lot of the view in my app is missing.

Here are some errors I got when deploying to Heroku

I also think this may have something to do with it. I got this error when running a heroku run rake db command

DEPRECATION WARNING: You have Rails 2.3-style plugins in vendor/plugins! Support for these plugins will be removed in Rails 4.0. Move them out and bundle them in your Gemfile, or fold them in to your app as lib/myplugin/* and config/initializers/myplugin.rb. See the release notes for more on this: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/1/4/rails-3-2-0-rc2-has-been-released. (called from <top (required)> at /app/Rakefile:7)

Answer 1

Its not error it is WARNING. Which says you have plugin that will no longer be supported in Rails 4.0.

Answer 2

Are you using bootstrap-sass or just sass? It seems that the trace indicates that sass is parsing your css as scss. Try disabling sass:

group :assets do
    # gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 3.1.5'
    gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.1.1'
    gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end

If that doesn't work, maybe there really is an error in the css.

edit: the deprecation warning seems unrelated to me.

Answer 3

Looks like you may be trying to use the ruby asset_path function in the SASS file to indicated the source of the iconsprite image.

Try using the absolute url instead, ie "/assets/sprite_image.png"

The warning is unrelated, it is the SASS compiler crash that caused the problem.
