I have a rails engine, and I want to use bootstrap on it.
I included 'bootstrap' as a dependency. And I want to import in my application.scss file.
However, importing like this:
#import 'bootstrap';
Doesn't work as normal. I suspect that it is because I'm running an engine, and my scss file is placed in a module instead of the /stylesheets directory. However,
#import '../bootstrap';
does not work either.
Any ideas, and in addition, is there something fundamental I should know about rails engines when it comes to referencing by directory and what not? I only ask because this is the first time I've ever worked with a rails engine
UPDATE
It appears that also the jquery-rails gem (in addition to boostrap) could not be found when I require it in my application.js file like this:
//= require jquery-rails
//= require bootstrap
I figured it out. I just had to change:
s.add_dependency 'bootstrap'
to this:
s.add_dependency 'bootstrap', '~> 4.1.3'

Bootstrap is not loading for me. What am I doing wrong?
application.scss (complete file, nothing else in it)
// "bootstrap-sprockets" must be imported before "bootstrap" and "bootstrap/variables"
#import "bootstrap-sprockets";
#import "bootstrap";
#import "bootstrap/theme";
Gemfile
gem 'bootstrap', '~> 4.0.0.alpha4'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.1.1'
gem 'bootstrap-sass-extras'
HTML IN HEADER SHOWS (running rails s, in development mode):

have you try :
rails generate bootstrap:install static
rails generate bootstrap:install less
This is a little hard to track down with the information you provided. Have you renamed your style files to .scss extention? Make sure you follow the installation instructions in the docs: Bootstrap 4 alpha.
It looks like you are using extra gems you don't need. If you are using the alph 4 version of bootstrap, you only need that in your gem file, you do not need version 3. Make sure include the right dependencies in your application.js file:
//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
as well as:
#import "bootstrap";
in your application.scss file.
You have to configure these files and then make sure you restart your application in order for the changes to take place. Hope this helps!
I followed stack overfolw's answer
to add adminlte in my rails app
it also says to add
//= require adminlte
in application.js
it works fine on local system but now when I am trying to deploy to digital ocean droplet it gives error
Sprockets::FileNotFound: couldn't find file 'adminlte' with type 'application/javascript'
My gemfile(I removed all gems except relavent) to clear the adminlte issue
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'bundler', '>= 1.8.4'
gem 'pnotify-rails'
source 'https://rails-assets.org' do
gem 'rails-assets-adminlte', '2.3.3'
end
end
I normal cases we write
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'pnotify-rail'
and in application.js
//= require pnotify
and don't include any file like pnotify.js manully
But in this case I instead used
source 'https://rails-assets.org' do
gem 'rails-assets-adminlte', '2.3.3'
end
and for this
//= require adminlte causing issue
From What I understand, you do not have a file named adminlte in your javascript folder.
Your app/assets/javascripts/ must have all the files that you want to require in your application.js
So if you have required adminlte, you must also have a file with the same name in your javascripts folder.
I see that you are using a theme, you might want to consider copying all the javascript and css files to the respective folders. If you have a folder to require, you could use // require_tree ./adminlte which requires all the files in that folder.
I hope this helps :)
I had the same problem, having to import adminlte on some servers and AdminLTE on others.
Just use rails-assets-admin-lte instead of rails-assets-adminlte (they're based on the same code) and import admin-lte instead of adminlte in your CSS and JS application files.
I'm trying to use the bootstrap_form ~> 2.0.1 gem (see https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/rails-bootstrap-forms) but it's giving me fits. I've installed is as per the instructions on their github page, adding it to my Gemfile:
gem 'bootstrap_form', '~> 2.0.1'
I ran bundle install. I then added it to my application.css.scss file:
*= require_self
*= require rails_bootstrap_forms
*= require_tree .
But, when I try to run my app I get:
couldn't find file 'rails_bootstrap_forms' (in /path/to/my/app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss:12)
I'm obviously missing something. I checked lib/assets/ and vendor/assets/stylesheets/ but there's nothing there. Likewise, there's nothing in app/assets/stylesheets/.
What the fudge?
I had some trouble with this, partly (I think) because they renamed the gem. What seemed to make the difference for me was to have bundle grab the latest gem from github, by putting this into my Gemfile:
gem 'bootstrap_form', github: 'bootstrap-ruby/rails-bootstrap-forms'
I use bootstrap-sass, so I didn't want to mess around with application.css, so I made sure the following import statements were in application.css.scss, like this:
#import "bootstrap";
#import 'rails_bootstrap_forms';
It's also quite important to remember to restart the server after making these changes!
You have got to create the file rails_bootstrap_form.css in app/assets/stylesheets
.rails-bootstrap-forms-date-select,
.rails-bootstrap-forms-time-select,
.rails-bootstrap-forms-datetime-select {
select {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
}
}
.rails-bootstrap-forms-error-summary {
margin-top: 10px;
}
I had this problem and found that I'd mistyped the Gemfile entry as bootstrap-form. I corrected it to bootstrap_form and all was well.
Have you installed Bootstrap? Looks like that is a requirement of bootstrap_form, but it's not included as a dependency in the gem which means you need to manually install Bootstrap.
One popular way to do this is with the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem. The simplest way to install this is to include gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails" in your gemfile, and then run
$ bundle install
followed by
rails generate bootstrap:install static which should add the required CSS files to your assets folder.
I was getting the same error so I took out *= require rails_bootstrap_forms from application.css.scss and was able to compile and deploy without any errors.
Despite SO's admonishment not to respond to other answers I'm going to enhance Thomas Geider's answer above by explaining why you need to create a rails_bootstrap_forms.css file in app/assets/stylesheets.
If you look in the rails-bootstrap-forms Github you'll notice they have a rails_bootstrap_forms.css file. The README doesn't tell you this but it follows that this css file needs to be in /app/assets/stylesheets.
Here's the file:
https://github.com/bootstrap-ruby/rails-bootstrap-forms/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/rails_bootstrap_forms.css
I'm trying to install Bootstrap 3.0 on my Rails app. I recently finished Michael Hartl's tutorial and am now trying to build my own system using this new version of Bootstrap, but I have a few questions that I'm not sure about.
My system specs:
OS X Mountain Lion on MBP
Rails 4.0
Ruby 2.0
Questions I have:
What is the best gem to use in my Gemfile? I have found a few of them.
What do I import on my custom.css.scss? I read somewhere that it's different from 2.3.2.
Is there anything else I have to do to get Bootstrap to work, or are the remaining steps identical to the ones I followed for Bootstrap 2.3.2?
Edit
Here is what the bootstrap-rails project on GitHub first says to do:
gem 'anjlab-bootstrap-rails', :require => 'bootstrap-rails',
:github => 'anjlab/bootstrap-rails'
Then it says to do:
gem 'anjlab-bootstrap-rails', '>= 3.0.0.0', :require => 'bootstrap-rails'
Do they do the same thing, or do you have to do them both?
Actually you don't need gem for this, here is the step to install Bootstrap 3 in RoR
Download Bootstrap
Copy:
bootstrap-dist/css/bootstrap.css and bootstrap-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
To: vendor/assets/stylesheets
Copy:
bootstrap-dist/js/bootstrap.js and bootstrap-dist/js/bootstrap.min.js
To: vendor/assets/javascripts
Update: app/assets/stylesheets/application.css by adding:
*= require bootstrap.min
Update: app/assets/javascripts/application.jsby adding:
//= require bootstrap.min
With this you can update bootstrap any time you want, don't need to wait gem to be updated. Also with this approach assets pipeline will use minified versions in production.
As many know, there is no need for a gem.
Steps to take:
Download Bootstrap
Direct download link Bootstrap 3.1.1
Or got to http://getbootstrap.com/
Copy
bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css
bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
to: app/assets/stylesheets
Copy
bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js
bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js
to: app/assets/javascripts
Append to: app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require bootstrap
Append to: app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require bootstrap
That is all. You are ready to add a new cool Bootstrap template.
Why app/ instead of vendor/?
It is important to add the files to app/assets, so in the future you'll be able to overwrite Bootstrap styles.
If later you want to add a custom.css.scss file with custom styles. You'll have something similar to this in application.css:
*= require bootstrap
*= require custom
If you placed the bootstrap files in app/assets, everything works as expected. But, if you placed them in vendor/assets, the Bootstrap files will be loaded last. Like this:
<link href="/assets/custom.css?body=1" media="screen" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/assets/bootstrap.css?body=1" media="screen" rel="stylesheet">
So, some of your customizations won't be used as the Bootstrap styles will override them.
Reason behind this
Rails will search for assets in many locations; to get a list of this locations you can do this:
$ rails console
> Rails.application.config.assets.paths
In the output you'll see that app/assets takes precedence, thus loading it first.
This answer is for those of you looking to Install Bootstrap 3 in your Rails app without using a gem. There are two simple ways to do this that take less than 10 minutes. Pick the one that suites your needs best. Glyphicons and Javascript work and I've tested them with the latest beta of Rails 4.1.0 as well.
Using Bootstrap 3 with Rails 4 - The Bootstrap 3 files are copied into the vendor directory of your application.
Adding Bootstrap from a CDN to your Rails application - The Bootstrap 3 files are served from the Bootstrap CDN.
Number 2 above is the most flexible. All you need to do is change the version number that is stored in a layout helper. So you can run the Bootstrap version of your choice, whether that is 3.0.0, 3.0.3 or even older Bootstrap 2 releases.
Twitter now has a sass-ready version of bootstrap with gem included, so it is easier than ever to add it to Rails.
Simply add to your gemfile the following:
gem 'sass-rails', '>= 3.2' # sass-rails needs to be higher than 3.2
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.1.1'
bundle install and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline.
There is also support for compass and sass-only: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass
I use https://github.com/yabawock/bootstrap-sass-rails
Which is pretty much straight forward install, fast gem updates and followups and quick fixes in case is needed.
gem bootstrap-sass
bootstrap-sass is easy to drop into Rails with the asset pipeline.
In your Gemfile you need to add the bootstrap-sass gem, and ensure that the sass-rails gem is present - it is added to new Rails applications by default.
gem 'sass-rails', '>= 3.2' # sass-rails needs to be higher than 3.2
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.0.3.0'
bundle install and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline.
Source: http://rubydoc.info/gems/bootstrap-sass/3.0.3.0/frames
For me, the simplest way to do this is
1) Download and unzip bootstrap into vendor
2) Add the bootstrap path to your config
config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("vendor/bootstrap-3.3.6-dist")
3) Require them
in css *= require css/bootstrap
in js //= require js/bootstrap
Done!
This methods makes the fonts load without any other special configuration and doesn't require moving the bootstrap files out of their self-contained directory.
Using this branch will hopefully solve the problem:
gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails',
git: 'git://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails.git',
branch: 'bootstrap3'
I think the most up to date gem for the new bootstrap version is form anjlab.
But I don't know if it currently works good with other gems like simple_form when you do rails generate simple_form:install --bootstrap, etc. you may have to edit some initializers or configurations to fit the new bootstrap version.
I actually had an easy workaround on this one in which I nearly scratch my head on how to make it work. hahah!
Well, first I downloaded Bootstrap (the compiled css and js version).
Then I pasted all the bootstrap css files to the app/assets/stylesheets/.
And then I pasted all the bootstrap js files to the app/assets/javascripts/.
I reloaded the page and wallah! I just added bootstrap in my RoR!
I create a new rails project,and add
gem 'bootstrap-sass'
to my Gemfile, then I run bundle install and every things going good. then I add:
/*
*= require bootstrap
*/
in my application.css file, and I write a test,but it doesn't.
and I also try add`#import "bootstrap"; in my hello.css.scss file .but it also doesn't work.
Rollen,
You seem to be mostly there. Sass is in Rails 3.1 by default so you won't need to do anything specific for that. After you add the gem to your Gemfile and do a bundle install your issue is in the application.css file. Typically when using Sass I'd just suggest that you remove the manifest code (all the commenting at the top) from the application.css and rename the application.css to application.css.scss (removing Sprockets from the CSS file). Then add:
#import 'bootstrap'
to the very top of it. That should solve it for you. You'll need to manually add each CSS file you'll want to load into the application.css.scss file since sprockets is gone, but that's typically a good idea anyway since load order in CSS is important for the cascade.
If you want to add the JavaScript features to the framework (which you likely will want to) you'll also want to add
//= require bootstrap
Just above the call to //= require_tree . within app/assets/javascripts/application.js.
Probably a little late to the party, but just in case anyone else stumbles across the question...
This was a small gotcha I Solved by adding #import "bootstrap"; to the top of my application.css file, the renamed the file to application.css.scss
Hope this helps.
https://github.com/rails/sass-rails needs to be there in your Gemfile.
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.1'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 2.0.1'
Remove all the comments at the top of the application.css and rename application.css to either application.sass or application.css.scss depending on how you want to do your css'ing
Then add:
#import 'bootstrap'
This should allow you to start using bootstrap, providing you have indeed included the bootstrap-sass gem correctly and ran bundle install afterwards.
