Well, I figured it out. The problem is with my .slugignore file. In .slugignore I had:
spec/**/* assets/**/* Why? I used to keep some photoshop files in there. But the /assets folder doen't exist any more. The problem? It appears that when .slugignore is processed is does NOT behave like .gitignore and in my case above it ignored *all* *folders* with the name of 'assets', *all* *files* with the name of 'assets', regardless of location. Thus public/assets and all it's contents were removed from the slug before asset compilation, thus it didn't detect manifest.yml because it was removed. The only way I was able to figure this out was by creating a custom buildback with copious 'puts' to watch what was happening during the entire slug compilation process. Man, what a waste of too, too many hours. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
