Tried a few fixes: Heroku / Rails 4 Assets Precompile Error

Question

This seems like a common problem, so let me start with the fact that I have already done a lot.

After this thread I ran

heroku labs:enable user-env-compile -a myapp

Then I made sure that the assets are precompiled locally by running

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

They make.

I also took this advice by setting

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

in my configuration /production.rb and config / application.rb.

In addition, following this problem , I was convinced that I had heroes installed:

 gem 'rails_log_stdout', github: 'heroku/rails_log_stdout' gem 'rails3_serve_static_assets', github: 'heroku/rails3_serve_static_assets' 

Then I made sure that I have bin in my path, following this heroku article .

Then I made sure that I followed the "Getting Started with Rails 4.xx" article on heroku.

I also repeated the following answer to this question and posted the following in application.rb and production.rb

 config.serve_static_assets = true 

Here is the error I get when running git push heroku master :

  Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline Running: rake assets:precompile rake aborted! could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? 

It seems that config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false should have worked, because it seems like it is trying to load the production database during pre-compilation.

I made all these changes and they were advanced in git . Now what should I try?

Answer 1

Well, sorry. I guess I did not click on the effects of RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile . I hope this serves as a source of resources for this problem.

Edit

To do this, I ran RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile . Then I did it with

 git add -A git commit -m "precompiled assets" git push origin master git push heroku master
