I checked that /home/joe/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bootstrap-sass-3.1.1.0/vendor/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap.scss
does actually import the _variables.scss file below it in the bootsrap/
directory first (prior to _alerts.scss etc), and it does... and in _variables.scss it defines $alert_padding.
In the environments/production.rb
file I commented everything about assets out, and tried just config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = true
in accordance with the manual https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass
environments/production.rb
, commenting in only the one in the gem's page (manual) config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = true
I copied the gem's contents into my assets directory, which is essentially what jlong's bootstrap did.
its not looking at application.css.scss
... its ignoring what I put in there and electing to instead look into the folders and loading those files. Which is why it sees alerts.scss first. I tried changing the name of _variables.scss to _aavariables.scss to no avail
My specific problem turned out to be some code hiding in application.rb
...
I added puts config.assets.precompile.inspect
to config/environments/production.rb
and marvelled at the regex it output. Then I searched the codebase for "config.assets.precompile" and lo, in application.rb, there was:
config.assets.precompile << /(^[^_\/]|\/[^_])[^\/]*$/
...
config.assets.precompile += ["*.js", "*.css", "jquery-migrate-rails.js"]
which was causing the problem. (I'm slightly puzzled as I've triple checked those regexes and they shouldn't be picking up _alerts.scss... but lets gloss over that and focus on the fact that removing those lines fixed it)
Maybe this will help someone else...
Don't know why but for me it helped to put into assets.rb
this line
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += [/^[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*\..*/]
Initially I had the Sass::SyntaxError: Undefined variable: "$alert-padding". problem with this line
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += [/.*\.css/]
But after I changed it to the first one the problem was solved and everything worked in production.
I was facing same issue with Rails 4.
I figured out solution to overwrite the gems
.
For it I copy the bootstrap gem bootstrap-sass-X.X.X.X
in vendors
folder
Than Change in Gemfile
for gem path
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '3.3.1.0', :path => 'vendor/bootstrap-sass-X.X.X.X'
than write these 2 line
@import "bootstrap/variables";
@import "bootstrap/mixins";
at top of each of file which are inside the bootstrap folder
(vendor/bootstrap-sass-X.X.X.X/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap)
//like for _alerts.scss
// Alerts
// --------------------------------------------------
@import "bootstrap/variables";
@import "bootstrap/mixins";
// Base styles
// -------------------------
There is an issue with globing and precompiling assets. https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/issues/863
If you must precompile your js and css assets:
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += [proc { |filename, path| path =~ /(app|lib|vendor)\/assets/ && ['.js', '.css'].include?(File.extname(filename)) }]
Basically this proc will look in app lib and vendor folders for your assets.
Also, used a section of the Rails Guide to come up with this code
