Question

I have a big problem with the ckeditor “3.7.0.rc2” gem.

In development it works great with s3 a backend for uploading.

But on heroku it does not work.

The problem is that the ckeditor/vendor/skins/(kama) or (office2003) or (v2) /editor.css files contains an error that makes the sass compiler scream. The error like this “filter:;”, since there is no value it does not work.

There is no point in change the files locally, because heroku downloads the gem as I deploy.

I have tried to package the gem locally and make my own git fork and install it for there. But, then the

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile  

command precompiles all files in the ckeditor folders and always ends in

rake aborted! Permission denied

When I precompile with the “3.7.0.rc2” gem installed, some ckeditor js files are precompiled but not all.

How can I get around this problem?

Answer 1

The solution was to fork the git repo, delete all unnecesarry and correct the errors. js files. Then the precompiling worked and now the app is running on heroku.

Here’s a link to my fork https://github.com/andreaslyngstad/ckeditor

It worked in my project, but I have deleted js files that I did not use, so if you are using some of them, this is not for you.
