Asset Pipeline issues deploying to Heroku - ruby-on-rails

I'm running a Rails 5 app, Ruby 2.4 specified in my Gemfile. I've read through the Heroku assets pipeline article, and gone through the steps as I think I should.
In config/environments/production.rb:
config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier
config.assets.css_compressor = :sass
config.assets.compile = true
In /config/assets, I have these lines:
Rails.application.config.serve_static_assets = true
Rails.application.config.assets.version = '1.0'
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( customers.js )
customers.js is the only file I specifically include at the top of a page, and Rails requires me to precompile it..
Just before deploying to Heroku using git, I run this command:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
If you go to https://crateu.herokuapp.com, you'll see the stylesheet isn't handling the nav properly (I'm using the Materialize gem). What's confusing to me, is that the javascript is working for the dropdown items. And the styles that handle the nav are in application.sass, and the file is included - it's just not working.
If you go to an invalid URL, such as https://crateu.herokuapp.com/badurl, everything looks the way it should.
I have //= require_tree . in application.js, and when I view the source locally, I see all the files in the pipeline, and everything renders properly. I copied and pasted that source into 404.html in /public, which is why that page renders properly. When I view source on the herokuapp, none of those resources are included in the header. I'm sure it's something simple, a setting somewhere that I'm missing. Maybe I need to include everything in this line, not just customers.js?
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( customers.js )
I've tried everything I can think of. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll put the response here because the comment section doesn't allow to me to put multiline code, you've to add to you Gemfile:
group :assets do
gem 'uglifier'
end

Some assets not loading in an old Rails 3-2-stable app

BIG UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST
I have a Rails 3-2-stable app that I'm moving to a new server so I can work on upgrading it to Rails 5. Currently, it's hosted on Heroku and most of the assets show up just fine (the app Just Works (TM)). I have a few random assets that will not show up after precompilation on a Digital Ocean droplet. I'm deploying with Capistrano.
The error for the assets that won't show up look something like this:
Loading failed for the <script> with source “http://stage.fancy-new-droplet.com/assets/application/application.js”.
In some cases, there will be a hash associated with the asset like this:
Loading failed for the <script> with source “http://stage.fancy-new-droplet.com/assets/application/certifications-56046476595984b00d1267a4f02822e5.js
In the former case, the asset is actually in public/assets/ as opposed to public/assets/application/ on the droplet. Moving or symlinking the missing asset to that location doesn't seem to affect anything. In the latter case, the assets just don't exist anywhere on the droplet as far as I can tell.
For the case with no hashes in filenames, changing my include tags from this:
<%= javascript_include_tag "application/application" %>
To something like this:
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
Will solve the issue but I feel like that's a red herring given the other assets that don't seem to exist after precompilation.
I did run into an esoteric issue where the droplet was running out of memory and silently failing halfway through asset compilation but I increased the available memory and it doesn't even use half the memory now. It does max out the CPU 100%, though. I may try to increase both CPU and memory on the droplet.
Here are the relevant asset compilation lines from config/environments/production.rb:
config.serve_static_assets = false
config.assets.compress = true
config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.digest = true
And the relevant asset compilation lines from application.rb:
config.assets.enabled = true
config.assets.version = '1.0'
Locally, everything works 100% just peachy, no errors. Assets load fine and we're all good. Here's the asset pipeline bits from my development.rb file:
config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.compress = false
config.assets.debug = true
I've run various combinations of rake assets:clean, rake assets:precompile, and rake assets:precompile:all on the production server (in the production environment) and I've even nuked the public/assets/ folder to start it all over again. All to no avail.
What might cause these assets to not be created on our droplet while they do manage to get created on Heroku?
EDIT
As requested, my DO stack is simply just a droplet (2vcpu, 2gb ram), I'm using Puma and Nginx. Here is my Capfile:
# Load DSL and Setup Up Stages
require 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/deploy'
require 'capistrano/scm/git'
install_plugin Capistrano::SCM::Git
require 'capistrano/rails'
require 'capistrano/bundler'
require 'capistrano/rvm'
require 'capistrano/puma'
install_plugin Capistrano::Puma
# Loads custom tasks from `lib/capistrano/tasks' if you have any defined.
Dir.glob('lib/capistrano/tasks/*.rake').each { |r| import r }
FURTHER EDIT
I've frobbed config.assets.initialize_on_precompile a couple of times in application.rb and ran various permutations of rake assets:clean, assets:precompile, and assets:precompile:all with RAILS_ENV=production locally to no avail.
YET ANOTHER EDIT
I've noticed at this point that precompiling production assets seems to not be compiling four of the javascript files, and about seven of the css files. It also doesn't seem to put application.js into public/assets/application/application.js (where the app is looking), rather it lands in public/assets/application.js.
MORE EDITS
I have resolved the issue of the JavaScript assets not loading by fixing a require_tree statement in application.js and now the only issue seems to be several missing CSS files.
In this application there are two directories with css files:
app/assets/stylesheets/
app/assets/stylesheets/application
There are a total of 21 stylesheets that do not load out of nearly 100 total. The stylesheets that don't load are being called with a hashed filename (somefile-hash.css) but those hashed files don't exist in public/assets/ on the droplet.
Here's the requires from application.css.scss:
/*
*= require_self
*= require chosen
*= require jquery-ui/autocomplete
*= require jquery-ui/datepicker
*= require feature-carousel
*= require_tree .
*/
Out of frustration, I added = require_directory ./assets to that list and now I've only got about 15 stylesheets failing to compile/load. That behaviour doesn't make any sense to me as I assumed the = require_tree . would've covered the wonky subdirectory.
Individually specifying files = require foo or = require foo.css.scss does not seem to affect anything, either.
I also bumped the config.assets.version out of frustration to no avail.
And furthermore, no amount of foul language can persuade these assets to compile.
The asset pipeline concatenates your assets to only generate and serve specified files, 'application.js', 'application.css' and images/fonts by default.
If you are explicitly including other css/js files in your application via the javascript_include_tag or stylesheet_link_tag helpers, you'll need to add those files manually to the pipeline via the config.assets.precompile += setting in your application.rb or an initializer.
Currently, those files should already be included within your application manifest via the require_tree . directive. So, the styles might be being applied right now too. If that's the case, you can just remove your code that adds the individual stylesheets separately to get rid of the 404s.
Still not sure how the app is working fine on heroku, maybe you have some heroku config that's enabling serving the static assets.
Perhaps try changing these in production.rb but no guarantees, may be worth trying.
config.serve_static_files = true
config.assets.compile = false
Also if you have this in Gemfile, you might wanna try to comment it out and bundle install locally before deploy.
gem 'rails_12factor', group: :production
That 💩was required by Heroku but you may not need it on DO. See https://github.com/heroku/rails_12factor
Also, please if you can post more relevant info about your DO stack and maybe your Capfile
Just changing this on your production.rb should work:
config.serve_static_assets = true

Vendor assets not showing in heroku staging environment

my assets (i.e. css and js) in vendor folders are not showing in heroku staging environment, however, images in app/assets/images works and it also works in development environment though. I do not want to move the assets in vendors folder to the app folder because I want to keep vendor templates separate.
Below are my setup and the list of things I have tried:
app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
*= require style.default
app/assets/stylesheets/application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks

//= require modernizr.min
//= require bootstrap.min

//= require toggles.min
//= require retina.min
//= require jquery.cookies
//= require custom

//= require_tree .
config/initializers/assets.rb
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( *.css *.js )
Ran the following command in terminal

Note: "config.assets.compile = true" works, but the idea is to precompile all the assets, not to rely on compile
Many thanks for taking the effort to look at my work.
UPDATE
group :production :staging do
gem 'unicorn'
gem 'rails_12factor'
gem 'pg'
gem 'heroku-deflater'
end
adding :staging to in gemfile didnt work.
config/application.rb
config.serve_static_assets = true
adding config.serve_static_assets in application.rb file didnt work..
So I further ran the following command in the staging heroku:
Rails.application.config.assets

Also ran "heroku run rails c" then executed the following:

I am not sure if you saw this page, but I had similar issue and this helped me out.
I would check to make sure you have config.serve_static_assets = true in your config/application.rb
If you do I would skip down to the debugging section
So after some trial and error and getting feedback, below are some take away that I hope can help others in the future. The short of it is that, if you face any problem, always refer to Rails Asset Pipeline. This is because different rails versions has different methods. At the point of this answer, mine is Rails Version: Rails 4.2.0. Ruby Version: ruby 2.1.3p242 (2014-09-19 revision 47630) [x86_64-darwin13.0]
Do note that this answer applied to my situation, may vary with yours.
My Problem Statement:
I bought a bootstrap template online and would like to incorporate it to my application. Below are the following steps I took to resolve the problem.
Put files into vendor/assets - I cut and paste all the templates into my vendors/assets folder. All of the assets are properly arranged into their respective fonts folders, images folders, javascript folders and stylesheets folder.
Only keep what I need - I removed the files that I do not need and only keep those that I need. This requires some reading of the vendor files.
Ensure correct assets path - after which I went through each each files and ensure that the files are referencing the assets correctly. Any css files that has image and font references, I changed it to css.erb format, then put <%= asset_path(...) %> into url(...). Note that there are various ways to do this i.e. use font_path or image_path, use css.scss instead of css.erb etc. Please refer to documentation from asset pipeline. I also removed any #import url('<your file>.css'); cause I will be using *= require <your files> later
Config application.js and application.css in app/assets - I then key in "require " into application.js and application.css manifest respectively based on the names of the files I have in my vendor/assets folder. D note that the order is important. The manifest reads from top to bottom. Therefore, always ensure pre-requisite files are kept above files that depends on it. For example, I have a default.css file that depends on font.css, hence *= require font.css comes before *= require default.css.
Create your view - then I created a some html.erb views files with controllers and routes.
Test development locally - Launch the app locally through rails s. If you put the files correctly in their respective folders in vendor/assets. Your application should show up nicely. Else, please refer to the instructions above and try again.
Config to test production locally - to test production locally, first, go to your secrets.yml file and change the production secret_key_base to the one secret_key_base from your development (IMPORTANT to revert this back to ENV once you are done testing),
Precompile and open rails app in production locally - Once you have configured, run RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompilein the
terminal. You should see your assets being precompiled. Once the
precompile is done, you should be able to find an assets folder in
your public folder (your images, videos and fonts assets should each
have their own files, whilst all css and js will be cramped into one file as application-<md5>.css and application-<md5>.js respectively). If this didnt workout properly, your precompile fails. It is most probably due to css or
js syntax error, go back and check the files and make the changes.
If you have made any corrective changes, please run rake assets:clobber to remove the public/assets then run the production precompile again. Once all is good, run the following command in your terminal rails s -e production, this
opens up your server locally but in production environment instead
of dev environment. When running localhost:3000 if your secret_key_base is not copied properly, you will see an error in your browser asking you to make changes to the secret key.
Viewing localhost:3000 in browser - If your view in local production is different from that of your local development view. For example, most of the css did not show up properly, troubleshoot by
right click on the parts of the website that is not reflected properly, click on inspect element, you should be able to see 404 errors. this means that your code or assets in .css and .js is not referenced or configured properly. go back to point 8 and redo.
check your rails server logs to find if there are any ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/assets/.... this means that your code or assets in .css and .js is not referenced or configured properly. go back to point 8 and redo.
Pushing to heroku - Once everything is good locally, you can now push to heroku. because you ran the precompile for production env locally, you will see that during your push to heroku, heroku will state something like remote: Detected manifest file, assuming assets were compiled locally. else, heroku will have to precompile for you. Note that heroku use rails_12factor gem in production. Additionally, these gems, sass-rails, coffee-rails, uglifier, come in default when you created your rails app which is essential for your asset pipeline.
Things I did not do to resolve my problem:
Though the methods below are valid,
I DID NOT use config.serve_static_assets = true for application.rb, production.rb or staging.rb
I DID NOT ran rake assets:precompile
I DID NOT ran heroku run rake assets:precompile
I DID NOT put Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( *.css *.js ) in config/initializers/assets.rb
I DID NOT resort to using config.assets.compile = true
I DID NOT use config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("lib", "videoplayer", "flash") in config/application.rb
Other links that could be helpful:
No route matches [GET] /assets
https://github.com/FortAwesome/font-awesome-sass/issues/48
Things I could not explain
This solution only worked when I recreated a new rails app. My old rails app did not work as when I ran precompile, the css and js files in public/assets were not in one application-<md5>.css and application-<md5>.js respectively. instead, they were scattered to their own font.css, default.css etc etc, as seen from "Output below" shown above. Will be doing more research to get down to the bottom of this.
I hope my answer above helped. Do give feedback if I made any mistakes or missed out anything.
Adding the vendor asset to precompile in assets.rb (f.e. Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( highcharts.js ) worked form me, when deploying to Heroku. (and I didn't use a joker like *.js)

Rails assets not precompiling in production

I'm using Datetimepicker and Slider. I include them in my Gemfile
gem 'datetimepicker-rails', github: 'zpaulovics/datetimepicker-rails', branch: 'master', submodules: true
source 'https://rails-assets.org' do
# gem 'rails-assets-select2-bootstrap-css'
gem 'rails-assets-seiyria-bootstrap-slider'
end
In my application.js
//= require moment
//= require bootstrap-datetimepicker
//= require pickers
//= require seiyria-bootstrap-slider
This works great in development, but when I run RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile on the server (capistrano deploy or by hand) these, and others don't seem to get pulled in. Chrome complains specifically about these two first.
I know I could put the line Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( *.js ) and then do a =javascript_include_tag :XXXX, but this defeats the purpose of sprockets/manifest right?
My understanding with sprockets/manifest is when I require it in my application.js it'll be included with the deploy so the client hits the server less.
Is there something I'm missing?
EDIT
Traced the problem to the uglifier gem. When I remove/comment out config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier and recompile the JS starts working again.
Any thoughts?
this is because things work differently in development as compared to production.
few thing to note:-
No CSS or JS files will be available to your app through the asset pipeline unless they are included in other files OR listed in the config.precompile directive.Only application.css and application.js are available by default of all the CSS and JS files.
Every file that is not a Javascript file or CSS file that is in the app/assets folder will be copied by Rails into the public/assets folder when you compile your assets.So if you want to add some web fonts, you could make an app/assets/fonts/ folder and put your fonts in there, these will then be copied to public/assets/fonts folder when you compile your assets. Note that your app/assets/stylesheets/fonts.css.scss file that references those fonts will NOT be copied over unless you either added it to the config.assets.precompile directive or required it from your application.css
for config.assets.compile...If it is set to "true" (which it is by default in development) then Rails will try to find a Javascript or CSS file by first looking in the public/assets directory and if it can't find it, will hunt through your app/assets folder looking for the file. If it finds it in app/assets it will go ahead and compile on the fly and then serve this asset up.
The problem with this is that you don't notice it happening in development, then you commit everything and push to production and BOOM, everything is broken with 500 errors because production has config.assets.compile set to "false".This prevents the app from "falling back" and trying to load the file directly instead of using the asset pipeline.
# Don't fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed
config.assets.compile = false
Why don't you just have this set to "true" in every environment? Well, because it is sloooooow. And you don't want slow in production
Run RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:clean assets:precompile
check public/assets directory and verify that assets are compiled..if its not empty...that means asset pipeline is working but path is not correct.use asset_helpers to set the path of assets in css files.

Rails 3.2.8 - not loading assets (development)

I have searched around and can't rectify the situation based on the responses to other similar questions. I seem to have broken the asset pipeline somehow but can't seem to figure out how.
None of my assets are being loaded at all; rails seems to just be ignoring my manifest files. When I inspect my page in firebug, only the 'non-compiled' text inside my manifest files (both js and css) is being displayed - almost as if the asset pipeline wasn't even enabled.
I deleted the contents of public/assets since I was adding a new file to the manifest which seemed to start this behavior.
Current configuration:
environments/development.rb
# Do not compress assets
config.assets.compress = false
# Expands the lines which load the assets
config.assets.debug = true
application.rb
# Enable the asset pipeline
config.assets.enabled = true
config.assets.manifest = config.root
# Add extra assets for precompiling
config.assets.precompile += ['admin.js', 'admin.css']
# Version of your assets, change this if you want to expire all your assets
config.assets.version = '1.0'
I had the same issue. You can still use Ruby 2.1.2, just upgrade rails to latest 3.2.x version - it's 3.2.22
Gemfile:
gem 'rails', '3.2.22'
And run:
$ bundle update rails
The issue was caused by using an incompatible version of ruby. I was using version 2.1.2 which lead to unusual behavior from the sprockets gem (which powers the asset pipeline). This was fixed by downgrading to ruby 1.9.3. I haven't done any experimentation for fear of breaking it again but maybe this has been addressed in later versions of sprockets. I am using sprockets 2.1.3.
See: Rails 3.2.8 Application.js and Application.css are not working as expcted
Always remember two things when you want to handle Rails asset pipleline:-
if you want all you newly created js/css to autoinclude in application.js/css,pls add them in...
ELSE
IF you dont wont to add in manifest file(application.js/css) then use precompile directive in yuur environment file.
config.assets.precompile=%w(custom.css,custom2.js...etc)
so make sure you have either of these...
===========for example=-=============
suppose you have new css/js file:-
custom.css inside
app/assets/stylesheets/
so you can include in
application.css
// = require 'custom'
OR
use precompile directive:-
config.assets.precompile += %w( custom.css )
and then reference it like you always do
stylesheet_link_tag "custom"
same applies for js also
I just spent a few hours troubleshooting this issue (in 2017!) and it turned out I just needed to remove the gem active_reload. Updating rails and ruby was having no effect for me. The thread where I found that gold is here:
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/2715

Heroku can't find jquery.ui when using jquery-ui-rails gem in production

I'm using the jquery-ui-rails gem. It works fine on local host, but when I push to heroku it gives heroku logs shows this:
2012-04-11T02:28:59+00:00 app[web.1]: ActionView::Template::Error (couldn't find file 'jquery.ui.slider'
2012-04-11T02:28:59+00:00 app[web.1]: (in /app/app/assets/stylesheets/application.css:12)):
My production config file:
config.cache_classes = true
config.consider_all_requests_local = false
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
config.serve_static_assets = true
config.assets.compress = true
config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.digest = true
Some questions online say to change config.assets.compile to false, but when I do that I get a application.css not precompiled error.
Taking the line gem jquery-ui-rails out of the assets group in the Gemfile seems to help. Similar problem/fix for the twitter bootstrap gem. :)
I had a similar, though not identical, problem. In my case, drag and drop methods worked locally, but Heroku complained that it couldn't find jquery-ui.
What solved it for me was this:
In the Gemfile, added
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'
In application.js, added
//= require jquery.ui.all
In application.css, added
*= require jquery.ui.all
Finally, of course, git commit -a -m "added jquery ui statements", followed by git push heroku master.
You might have some sort of syntax error in some of your asset files. As the assets are precompiled different types of assets are concatenated as one. Now if one of your CSS files has a syntax error in the end of it, it might not affect anything in our local environment as the assets are not precompiled. However, when the asset files are joint together as one big file anything that then happens to follow the error would not get loaded. This might result in missing JavaScript stuff, CSS rules, etc..
