It always happens. My pristine development environment is running my app just fine. Then I deploy it to Heroku and whomp, trouble abounds. Let’s leave alone the fact that I’m using the zurb-foundation gem, and instead focus on the problem which has to be afflicting you as well if you’re reading this.
I got this message in my Heroku log while deploying my app:
....
Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
Running: rake assets:precompile
rake aborted!
File to import not found or unreadable: foundation/common/ratios.
Well, look in your assets/stylesheets folder, the zurb-foundation gem generated a file called foundation_and_overrides.scss. The first thing it does is @import “foundation/common/ratios”;. So, what? Well, if you’re lazy like me, you’re loading the zurb-foundation gem without a specified version number:
group :assets do
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.2.3'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'
gem 'compass-rails'
gem 'zurb-foundation'
end
At the time of writing this, the zurb-foundation gem is at 4.1.2. Which means that ‘foundation/common/ratios’ is no longer included in the gem. The quick and dirty fix would be to lock the zurb-foundation gem down to 3.2.5 (thank you Stackoverflow). So now I declare the gem ‘zurb-foundation’ in the assets group like so:
gem 'zurb-foundation', '= 3.2.5'
Save your gemfile, now run bundle update, commit your changes to git, and re-deploy to Heroku. Should be smooth sailing and your assets should compile just fine.
