Question

My rails app runs fine on my local Ubuntu machine, but when I push it to heroku and access the website, the app crashes with the following errors.

My app/stylesheets/calendar/jquery.weekcalendar.sass has the following at the beginning:

.wc-container
  font-size: 14px
  font-family: arial, helvetica

.wc-toolbar
  +linear-gradient(color-stops(#EFEFEF, #D5D5D5))
  border: 1px solid #DADADA
  padding: 1em
  font-size: 0.8em
  .wc-nav
    float: left
  .wc-display
    float: right
  button
    margin-top: 0
    margin-bottom: 0
  .wc-title
    text-align: center
    padding: 0
    margin: 0

Line 6 is the one with “+linear-gradient(color-stops(#EFEFEF, #D5D5D5))”. My local machine does not complain about this line, I wonder why heroku is complaining about it.

Answer 1

Since linear-gradient mixin is defined in ./vendor/bundle/ruby/1.8/gems/compass-0.10.6/frameworks/compass/stylesheets/compass/css3/_gradient.scss, I had to add @import "compass" to app/stylesheets/calendar/jquery.weekcalendar.sass
