Question

I’m using Enki blogging gem, it works locally, trying to prepare to push to heroku (never had a problem before). I tried to precompile and it did this

/Users/me/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-rc1/bin/ruby /Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-rc1@ruby193/bin/rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets
rake aborted!
cannot load such file -- uglifier
  (in /Users/me/Sites/bayani/app/assets/javascripts/admin.js)

I’ve never had trouble pushing an Enki blog to Heroku before and, although I don’t know where uglifier is, I recall having seen it in other Enki blogs I’ve pushed, so I don’t know why it’s creating problems now.

When I pushed to Heroku and it aborted the precompile as well

Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline

After reading the troubleshooting article at the link it provided, I put this in application.rb

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

but I’m still having the same problem

This is admin.js. It’s just a manifest file. this is the link to enki https://github.com/xaviershay/enki

// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files

// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,

// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the

Add following to Gemfile.

group :assets do
  gem 'therubyracer'
  gem 'sass-rails', "  ~> 3.1.0"
  gem 'coffee-rails', "~> 3.1.0"
  gem 'uglifier'
end

Run

bundle install

rake assets:precompile

I hope, It will be useful .
