Question

Here’s an odd issue:

• One of my ActiveRecord models uses attr_protected
• attr_protected must connect to the database (surprise! gotcha!)
• On Heroku Cedar, the database is not available during slug compilation.

Workaround:

• Use attr_accessible instead
• Other people have used this workaround

Is there a better solution? Thanks.

Answer 1

Do you need access to your application models when precompiling? If not then

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

Is supposed to do the trick
