I can't seem to find an answer that works for me.
The icon shows up as a box:
I'm using:
font-awesome-rails (4.6.2.0)
rails (4.2.3)
I imported font-awesome-rails in my application.scss file using:
#import "font-awesome";
and here is what I wrote for the view:
<i class="quote-left fa fa-quote-left"></i>
I've tried including it before and after bootstrap.
I also tried manually adding the font folder to the pipeline in application.rb
config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "fonts")
Clearing the tmp folder didn't seem to do anything either.
I spent way too much time on this, please help :(
I had this issue when working with Rails 6 and Bootstrap 4 in Ubuntu 20.04.
I had set up Fontawesome this way:
First I added Font Awesome to my package.json file:
yarn add #fortawesome/fontawesome-free
Next, I imported it into my app/javascript/packs/application.js file:
require("#fortawesome/fontawesome-free")
Next, I imported it into my app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss file:
$fa-font-path: '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/v4-shims';
I also added the Font Awesome 5 Rails gem to my Gemfile:
gem 'font_awesome5_rails'
and installed it in my project:
bundle install
And finally I modified where my fontawesome icons were called from this format:
<i class="fas fa-camera-retro"></i>
to this format
fa_icon('camera-retro')
But the issue was that the icons were displaying fine in development but not in production.
Here's how I fixed it:
The issue was that I needed to import the FontAwesome 5 fonts into the app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss file. So I imported this to it:
#import 'font_awesome5_webfont';
So my fontawesome import to the app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss file looked like this finally:
#import 'font_awesome5_webfont';
$fa-font-path: '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
#import '#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/v4-shims';
This time the icons displayed properly in development as well as production.
Note: Please ensure to re-compile your assets after making these changes and restart your server.
That's all.
I hope this helps
I moved my import of font-awesome below my font import and it solved it.
from this:
#import "font-awesome";
#import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Playfair+Display:700,900");
to this:
#import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Playfair+Display:700,900");
#import "font-awesome";
Try restarting your webserver, after adding #import 'font-awesome.css' to your application.scss.

https://github.com/bokmann/font-awesome-rails/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed
I solved this issue by explicitly declaring a font-family: FontAwesome; rule in my stylesheet because a global * style was overwriting the font-family attribute for the .fa class.

I need to reduce the font-size of Bootstrap's Jumbotron header in Rails.
I see here
that I need to add something like
#jumbotron-heading-font-size: ceil((#font-size-base * 2.5));
in my file
app/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap_customization.css.scss
So I changed "#" to "$", please see below how the file looks now:
$jumbotron-heading-font-size: ceil(($font-size-base * 2.5));
$jumbotron-padding: 20px;
#import "bootstrap";
But this doesn't work.
I've found a solution.
As I'm using Bootstrap 4, I had a look at
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_variables.scss
and found $display3-size variable there (this is a class for h1 tag inside Jumbotrone), so then I added the following line before #import bootstrap into my .scss file:
$display3-size: 2.5rem;
So it works now
I am using bower for third parties on front-end.
I have problem with iCheck component which is used in AdminLTE theme.
Here is application.sass file of my Ruby on Rails 4.2.1 server side app:
#import "bootstrap-css-only/css/bootstrap"
#import "css/AdminLTE"
#import "css/skin-purple"
/*theme AdminLTE-2.3.0*/
#import "font-awesome/css/font-awesome"
#import "iCheck/skins/minimal/_all"
#import "iCheck/skins/square/_all"
#import "iCheck/skins/flat/_all"
#import "iCheck/skins/line/_all"
#import "iCheck/skins/polaris/polaris"
#import "iCheck/skins/futurico/futurico"
#import "iCheck/skins/all"
/*javascript notifications*/
#import "pnotify/src/pnotify.core"
#import "pnotify/src/pnotify.buttons"
/* Font awesome import*/
#import "font-awesome/css/font-awesome"
/*angular modules stylesheets*/
#import "core/stylesheets/users"
There is a problem with iCheck component because in file iCheck/skins/all.css there are imports:
#import url("minimal/_all.css");
#import url("square/_all.css");
And when I precompile assets for production environment, those css files do not exist. In development mode, everything works like a charm!
Any suggestion on this?
The problem here is that your compiled css file still has the same import commands, which is referencing the minimal/_all.css and square/_all.css.
There are two solutions for this problem:
You could change the extension of all imported files to scss, and change the import directive from #import url("...") to #import "..."
Or you could copy the files, which are imported with url to your public folder, and your browser will find them (of course, they will not be minified, and i would not suggest you do use this solution)
I'm using sass-bootstrap for my project, I have a _colors.scss file where I save my colors variables .
I import my _colors.scss before importing bootstrap.
I can modify main bootstrap variables like:
$navbar-default-link-active-color: red;
// active link in header menu became red
But I cannot use color var in my other sass files like:
$brand-primary: #428bca;
body {
color: $brand-primary;
}
// this give undefined variable
How is that?
My import application.css.scss:
#import "base-elements/colors";
#import "base-elements/typography";
#import "base-elements/helpers";
#import "bootstrap-sprockets";
#import "bootstrap";
#import "bootstrap-theme.min";
#import "components/login";
#import "components/carousel";
#import "pages/pages";
Just discover that sass-rails version bigger than 4.0.1 doesn't work well with bootstrap. I needed to define
gem sass-rails '4.0.1 '
and
gem 'sprockets', '2.11.0'
in order to make colours and bootstraps mixins working properly
Hopefully that can help someone else
I'm using the bootstrap-sass gem. With these instructions https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass#usage Things work ok except when I want to add a new stylesheet.
application.css.scss
#import "bourbon";
#import "custom";
#import "users";
#import "font-awesome";
#import "comments";
#import "animations";
directory structure
▾ stylesheets/
animations.css
application.css.scss
classifieds.css.scss
comments.css.scss
custom.css.scss
foo.css.scss
news.css.scss
relationships.css.scss
scaffolds.css.scss
users.css.scss
But if I add foo.css.scss to /stylesheets/ and add #import 'foo' to application.css.scss
I get a wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
(in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss) error
What could I be doing wrong?
it seems sass gem changed number of arguments of Sass::Importers::Base#public_url.
New version of sass-rails-source-maps should resolve this.
I am using bootstrap-sass and the font-awesome ( https://github.com/littlebtc/font-awesome-sass-rails) gems. I would like to override the bootstrap font setting from that of font-awesome.
From font-awesome's site I can override the bootstrap defaults, if I just import if after bootstrap's import.
#import 'bootstrap';
#import 'font-awesome';
I have done the above, but font-awesome's font is not overriding. I have pushed my project on github - https://github.com/murtaza52/rails-base. The url is accessible on localhost:3000/posts
I will appreciate if someone can help me overriding bootstraps's default font with those of font-awesome's
Modify your application.css.scss to look like below
#import "font-awesome";
$baseFontFamily: 'FontAwesome';
#import "bootstrap";
...
#import "bootstrap-responsive";
//#import "scaffolds";
#import "posts";
WHY?
You move import "font-awesome" at the top and then define baseFontFamily because that's what bootstrap uses to define font-family for all the elements. Check Typography and links block in the middle. If you import bootstrap after this, FontAwesome will be used by default.
You should remove import "scaffolds"; line because scaffolds.css.scss will reset your font family for body element which will be inherited by every other element.
If you can't avoid importing it before bootstrap. I hope that helps.
For those of you guys using Bootstrap 3.2+ (I guess), here's the list of SASS variables you can modify:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_variables.scss
In our case, we want to make sure to define $font-family-base before doing #import "bootstrap".
By setting $font-family-base before the line below is reached, Bootstrap uses our $font-family-base instead (otherwise, it defaults to $font-family-base-serif, also defined in the variables.scss above).
$font-family-base: $font-family-sans-serif !default;
This is how my application.css.sass looks like
/*
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
*/
#import "fonts"
#import "compass"
#import "bootstrap"
And I have the following in _fonts.css.sass (You don't have to have it in a separate file)
$font-family-sans-serif: 'Roboto', verdana, arial, sans-serif
I don't know if this helps you but at least sometimes when template code seems valid you need to force refresh your browser with ctrl+shirt+r to see changes (works at least in mozilla).
