I don't know the error but gotta know that it is a windows specific error.I have copied the same application and did rake command in ubuntu and worked well.

I'm getting the same response when I try to precompile using the ckeditor gem. The init.js.erb includes other JS files, some of which are already 'compressed' and as a result, the file is essentially one big string of text without any line breaks. If I open it in Komodoedit I get a warning saying the info is truncated because it is too long. Perhaps this is what is happening when Uglifier tries to read and then compress the string data. I don't know of a solution as it only just recently happened to me. Use rake assets:precompile --trace to see where the error actually crops up.

Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile
Weird; leave it for a month and something breaks in the meantime.

rake assets:precompile fails – file exists

I've stumbled onto a bit of a weird issue with my Rails app...
Until recently, my app has been running fine. Now, when trying to precompile assets, I'm getting a 'rake aborted!' error.
Even though I've removed all assets, I'm getting a File exists error...
My-MacBook-Pro-2:myapp myname$ ls public/assets
ls: public/assets: No such file or directory

Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile
My-MacBook-Pro-2:myapp myname$
I've tried removing the public/assets directory manually, using rm -rf public/assets, and, I've also ran rake assets:clean successfully – and the issue is still not resolved.
I'm trying to pinpoint what could cause the issue. Any help is appreciated!
I ended up resolving this issue –
Due to the lack of specificity in the error log, it was difficult to pinpoint. The issue was, in my /fonts directory, I had a file named 'myapp'... with no suffix... this caused Rails to puke.

rake aborted! undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

I get this error when I try to precompile assets. I'm fairly new to Rails and dealing with the asset pipeline makes me want to pull my hair out, lol. I get this same error trying it with ruby 1.9.2-p320, or ruby 1.9.3-p448. Using Rails 3.2.13. The hard part for me is looking at the error output and understanding where to look for the error. I don't see a lot of explanations on how to do that. Am I correct that the error is in a rails helper file? If so, where is that?
Here is the rake assets:precompile --trace results:

Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile`enter code here`
Here is the application.css.scss file:
/*
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*/
You use image-url(/path/to/file.png) in .css file,change it for url(/assets/path/to/file.png)
I resolved this issue by moving my development to RVM using ruby 2.0.0 and rails 4.0. Everything worked fine after that. I slowly added my files into the new configuration and kept running the precompile to make sure it worked every step of the way. Thanks for everyone's help.

Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile
I am running ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-linux]
I solved the issue by doing the following:
$ cd opt/bitnami/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/hike-1.2.3/lib/hike
$ sudo chmod 777 index.rb
$ sudo vim index.rb
Then, insert (press letter i on keyboard): # encoding: utf-8 before first line.
Hit esc and then type :wq then press enter to save.
After, put permissions back for index.rb by doing the following
$ sudo chmod 644 index.rb
Hope this helps someone in the future.
In case anybody else comes across this question, while Tomanow's answer didn't quite work for me, I discovered there were offending characters in my file, which is what caused this issue.
The files, which came from Open Layers version 2.13, contained a copyright symbol in the comments section of some of their javascript and css files. Anybody else having a similar issue could also attempt to look for and remove those characters, if that's a feasible. Check out this answer for more details.
In my case the issue was happening on every rake task. I found out that it was due to the presence of some files with odd names that were accidentally created on the app's main directory, such as "?," and "\342,". Everything worked fine after I removed them.

Precompile assets on Rails 3.2.3, rake aborted

I have a Rails 3.2.3 app and on my local machine, it runs fine.
The problem is, when I push to Heroku, I get a rake aborted! message when precompiling assets. On the local machine, I get.

In my application.css, I have
#import "custom";
#import "user";
#import "static_pages";
I contain all of my css in custom but user and static_pages is still left blank. Even if I take the first line out, the error occurs for user or static_pages.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Everything works fine on localhost.
Make sure those other CSS files have been committed to git.
