Okay I am running into a bit of an issue. When I am using the gem the page renders as below. However when I include the link to the actual bootstrap css stylesheet, the navbar shows up correctly. Any idea what could be causing this problem? I have overridden nothing and don't intend on doing so.
This was my own fault. Assets weren't being loaded since I hadn't restarted my rails server after making some changes to the gem file..

I've read through the other available questions and answers and they don't solve my issue. I recently looked to remove turbolinks from my project because I was having problems setting up event listeners. Suggestions for modifying the jquery to use the turbolinks equivalents weren't working, so I decided to remove it entirely for now to unblock myself.
I've done the following:
Remove the gem from Gemfile
Bundle (confirmed in the bundle turbolinks is no longer listed)
Removed turbolinks attributes from links in the head
Removed the require from the application JS
Restored my JS file to the original jQuery implementation
However, the problem persists on production (Heroku). Everything continues to work locally. I was inspecting the source assets on production and noticed I can find traces of turbolinks in the compiled js file. I don't know if this is causing the problem and I don't know where it's coming from so I haven't been able to remove it to test.
My JS file is set up like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log('Listener setup working...');
....
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
What would cause this to be the case? I cannot find any relevant information in pretty extensive searching. It works fine in development, but in production it's totally ignored. My personal custom CSS files are working but gem based ones like bootstrap-sass that I load with application.css.scss through import's does NOT work in production mode. I do not see any errors either.
The issue here is that I have Bootstrap on production looking for the fonts at:
assets/spree/fonts/glyphicons-the-file-name.something
When in development mode, it looks for these assets in:
fonts/glyphicons-the-file-name.something
So what I did was I added the fonts folder into public and it all worked. I did the same for production. You can guess that I'm now dealing with a rails assets:clean issue that must be running and removing the files, hence not allowing them to appear.
Is there a way to tell Rails to not clean the files in assets/spree/fonts?
I'm assuming you installed the bootstrap files manually?
If you instead use a gem such as the following, then you won't have to worry about these issues:
gem "bootstrap-sass"
Alternatively, you should be installing everything into your vendor directory. As you've found you'll then have issues with any linked assets within these files. The correct fix for this would be to edit the bootstrap source to use the correct asset_path helpers.
Obviously that's quite a bit of maintenance overhead when you get round to doing the next bootstrap update.
I'd take a look at the bootstrap-sass gem, even if you decide not to use it.
Going nuts here. I'm developing a rails app, and I'm using the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem in order to include the Twitter Bootstrap styles in my app. This gem generates a file called 'bootstrap_and_overrides.css.less' in app/assets/stylesheets, which I have been using to modify some of the bootstrap variables and include my own CSS overrides.
Everything has been working fine until today. For some reason, the changes I am making to this file today are getting saved to the file, but Rails is still serving the old version of the file! I've searched and found no precompiled versions of the file anywhere (nothing in public/assets)...only the one in assets/stylesheets which I have been modifying. Everything looks fine as far as the directories within the app go, but then when I start the rails server, load the page, and use the element inspector to look at the stylesheets, it's using an old version of 'bootstrap_and_overrides.css.less' with rules that I have deleted. I've turned of the cache in my browser, and tried it in 4 different browsers too, so I'm pretty sure this isn't a result of browser caching.
The rails asset pipeline just seems to serving a version of the file that doesn't exist! Does anybody have any ideas why this might be happening?
Fixed it.
The asset pipeline was storing a cached version in tmp/cache.
I ran rake tmp:clear, which deleted all the files in there, and then rails served the version of *bootstrap_and_overrides.css.less* that I wanted.
Why the cached version suddenly stopped getting updated is beyond me. Arrghhhh!
I'm trying to get pjax to work on a Rails app but none of the links are being annotated with pjax. I think pjax isn't really being loaded. I'm using pjax_rails and am basically following the railscast instructions but using //= require jquery.pjax instead of just pjax. I'm also using it with bootstrap which may cause an issue but I'm not sure. My other thought is that is that the pjax javascript isn't being loaded and I need to run something like $('a').pjax('[data-pjax-container]')
To be clear the main problem is that pjax isn't being loaded client side and thus when I make requests the X-PJAX header is not being set.
Finally got it working. First problem was that the unbeknownst to me the assests pipeline was turned off so the pjax javascript file wasn't being included. Instead I went with the pjax rack gem and dumped it into the public directory. Then I created a new javascript file with $('a').pjax('[data-pjax-container]') and it works! Although I'm not sure why I need to manually call that javascript when all the documentation seems to point to the fact that it should be already there.
