Rails 3.1 to 3.2.6 upgrade - asset_sync error - ruby-on-rails

Making lots of progress in a rails 3.1 to 3.2.6 upgrade for a Heroku app.
I use asset_sync and precompile assets onto S3. I use the asset_sync.rb initialiser to config my S3 connection details.
Getting an error when I attempt to run
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
AssetSync: using /Users/bob/work/myapp/config/initializers/asset_sync.rb
rake aborted!
could not connect to server: Permission denied
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Tasks: TOP => environment
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [/Users/bob/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p...]
That's very strange. I checked that it is listening as per Postgres permission denied on MAC OS X that question and related comments.

this isn't an error with asset_sync, but the asset precompile process itself (specifically on heroku) try config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false in your production or application.rb
What this will do is make sure your application code does not get initialized unnecessarily, which at precompile time, your heroku database my not be available.
Also it's not an issue with just Rails 3.2.6 but 3.2.x I believe.

Precompiling assets with capistrano gives error during deployment

I am trying to deploy my rails app to a digital ocean server using the capistrano gem, and I'm getting the error :
The deploy has failed with an error: #<SSHKit::Command::Failed: RAILS_ENV= bundle exec rake assets:precompile exit status: 256
RAILS_ENV= bundle exec rake assets:precompile stdout: Nothing written
RAILS_ENV= bundle exec rake assets:precompile stderr: rake aborted!
ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified: database configuration does not specify adapter
Even though the local config/database.yml and shared/config/database.yml file on the server are both configured, and have production databases set.
In case I run the rake db:create command on the server, it does create the database successfully. So, can't really find the issue.
Using rails 4.0.2, ruby 2.1.0, capsitrano 3.1.0
Sorry - I don't have the rep to comment.
It's a bit short on detail about your deploy configuration, you probably need to share.
RAILS_ENV= bundle exec rake assets:precompile stdout: Nothing written
Would suggest to me that there is no RAILS_ENV set. I don't think there is an issue with the database .yml
Infact - this post might be relevant: Capistrano 3, Rails 4, database configuration does not specify adapter

Deploying Rails 4 with ricn/rika gem on Heroku - precompile error

I'm running a Rails application using the Rika gem (JRuby wrapper for Apache Tika). It runs fine locally. In trying to push it to Heroku, it gets a ways into the deployment until I hit the asset precompile:
...
-----> Writing config/database.yml to read from DATABASE_URL
-----> Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
Running: rake assets:precompile
rake aborted!
No such file to load -- rika
followed by a long string of /tmp/build_8a51... errors.
Precompile works fine on the local machine.
If I try to install the gem via 'heroku run' I get:
$ heroku run gem install rika
Running gem install rika attached to terminal... up, run.8601
ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError) malformed format string - %)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Found the problem.
I needed to add the ruby version spec line to the Gemfile. It wasn't necessary on the local machine because I set the version externally. Heroku needs it though.

! Precompiling assets failed.
From the Heroku docs:
This means that your app is attempting to connect to the database as part of rake assets:precompile. Because the config vars are not present in the environment, we use a placeholder DATABASE_URL to satisfy Rails.
To resolve this issue, ensure that the following line appears in your config/application.rb:
# config/application.rb
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
Once added, commit your change and redeploy to Heroku – your assets should compile without your app attempting to connect to the database, which should resolve the error you're witnessing.
UPDATE:
Line 46 of your stacktrace includes the following message: Devise.secret_key was not set.
According to the author of Devise, José Valim, this issue can be resolved in the following manner:
Please add the following to your Devise initializer:
config.secret_key = '-- secret key --'
Alternatively, the following solution seems to have worked for a number of users:
I went to my routes.rb file and commented out the line devise_for :installs
Then I went back and reran rails generate devise:install. If that doesn't work, use the previous version of devise by editing your Gemfile's reference to Devise like this: gem 'devise', '3.0.3' and then follow the steps i mentioned above.
There a few things that solved this issue for me:
# config/application.rb
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
Then, before I deployed, I compiled my assets locally and committed them:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
Also, I installed this heroku add on, as was specified by the app I was launching (in my case, Spree commerce)
heroku labs:enable user-env-compile -a myapp
And of course, make sure your database.yml file is set to use adapter: postgresql.
Commit all of this, push to heroku, and hopefully it will launch. If you still cannot open your app, try looking at the Heroku logs: heroku logs -n 500
I still needed to migrate my database with heroku run rake db:migrate
when you are using github and you are pushing to heroku while you are in develop branch, dont do it, go to master branch and get the updates in the develop by git merge develop
after that,
rails precompile:assets
git add -A
git commit -m "Precompile assets"
git push heroku master
if you want to open the website that you deployed
heroku open
if nothing shows, migrate your database first by:
heroku run rails db:migrate
heroku open
I have failed Heroku proceompiling with same error message.
Carrierwave causes that because I have missed set up SECRET_KEY_BASE to Heroku setting.

Precompilation failing heroku even when using user-env-compile

I'm trying to push up to Heroku, but I'm getting this error:
-----> Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
Running: rake assets:precompile
rake aborted!
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I'm using Ruby 2.0 and Rails 4.0. I've seen posts that say I should enable user-env-compile so that my environment variables are used in Heroku slug compilation, so I did this:
heroku labs:enable user-env-compile --app <my app's name>
I've also disabled it and re-enabled it. But, I'm still getting the same error. What could be the problem? What am I doing wrong?
It's less than ideal, but I was having a similar issue using Rails 4 on Heroku and resorted to pre-compiling locally using: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile.
If you want to avoid having your compiled assets in master, you could create a deploy branch, pre-compile, commit, push to heroku and then destroy.

Heroku assets precompile error, despite compiling assets locally

I am currently first time deploying my app to Heroku, and am encountering the precompile error. When I execute the command git push heroku master, I get:
Running: rake assets:precompile
rake aborted!
could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
After a bit of searching, I encountered both Heroku's own troubleshooting guide on precompile error, as well as this post on precompile errors and Rails 3.2, and following their directions, did the following:
Added config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false to my application.rb file
Made a new heroku app using heroku create just to be safe
Per the Rails guide, ran bundle exec rake assets:precompile
I thought that since I am doing the compiling locally, when pushing to Heroku it would just skip the compilation part based on detecting a manifest.yml file. However, even when I do so, when running git push heroku master, it will still run rake assets:precompile and generate the same error as seen above.
Thanks in advance for you help!
Addendum
In my .gitignore, I have the following:
# Ignore bundler config
/.bundle
# Ignore the default SQLite database.
/db/*.sqlite3
# Ignore all logfiles and tempfiles.
/log/*.log
/tmp
At first glance, I would assume that it should work.
Can you confirm that you have committed and merged all changes into master? i.e. git status
