Question

This is my second post regarding this issue as my webrick server spits out this message. I’ve had this before and twiddled with the application.css file to get it to work. My rails is 3.1.3 on ruby 1.9.3. The response from rails is couldn’t find file ‘twitter/bootstrap’

“all” %>

Researching on Google I’ve followed seyhunak’s responses on this issue. Here is my line in the Gemfile, on its own line and not in a group.

 gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails', :git => 'http://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails.git'

Here is what’s in my application.css.scss:

  *= require_self
  *= require bootstrap_and_overrides
  *= require_tree . 

Here’s what’s in my application.js

//= require jquery
 //= require jquery_ujs
 //= require twitter/bootstrap
 //= require require_tree .

I have done the following commands:

 bundle update
 rails g bootstrap:install
 rails g bootstrap:layout application fixed
 touch bootstrap_and_overrides.css.less
 rails s

After restarting the server, I still get that error. I’m unable to get past this.

I think I’ve exhausted all Stack and Google can suggest. What am I overlooking? thanx, sam

After beating myself up over this, I got some Rails devs to look at this problem. My understanding is that Twitter/Bootstrap needs files to be in the vendor directory. The gem would then need to be removed, commented out, so they would not conflict. My app now shows pages that look like the project’s homepage. I’m unsure if I’ve lost the ability to use less to change things. This is my inexperience showing. Thanks for looking.
