Rake Assets Precompile without Gems in Development or Test Groups

Question

Okay, so I've got an error while building my Docker image (think of it as similar to a deploy step, or Heroku deploy if you're unfamiliar with Docker).

Gems that are in the :test and :development groups are being looked for when the precompile step happens, and since I've bundled --without development test - as I don't want to have QT just so that capybara-webkit doesn't error on bundle - the precompile step is throwing an error.

The error is always a variant of:

Could not find <gem-name> in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound)

My Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

end

The line in the Dockerfile where the error happens is:

RUN /bin/bash -l -c "RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_GROUPS=assets --trace"

So basically, what I'm really after is the equivalent for --without test development for the rake task. Can I do that? As per some advice, I've already changed (in application.rb):

Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)

to

Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env)

Anybody have Rails-fu enough to solve this one? I've looked in the docs and on SO, as well as asking my colleagues but I'm still banging my head against the wall over this.

Answer 1

bundle install --path vendor/cache

Try this and let me know if it doesn't work!
