Question

i have this strange bug where…

in my application.js file i have

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap

if i do

 RAILS_ENV=development rake assets:precompile

my bootstrap drop down stops working. however, if i remove the require twitter/bootstrap and hit save on my editor, and then refresh the page on my local machine. it works again.

i dont understand why. this jquery/bootstrap loading has been an issue for weeks. recompiling my assets break it. it works if i recompiled it, but then remove it and refresh the browser

UPDATE.

my css is using custom.css.scss. theres nothing special in there except

@import "bootstrap";

at the top of the file.

ive reverted back to scss instead of less, and my application.js looks like…

//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap
//= require jquery-ui
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree .

on my development machine, the weird bug above occurs but in production everything seems to work fine

Answer 1

i fixed it. i had to do…

rake assets:clean 

something was probably corrupt and also…

config.serve_static_assets = false

in my development.rb
