I'm trying to deploy a Rails 4 app that uses twitter-bootstrap-rails and Less stylesheets onto Heroku.
Apparently Heroku frowns upon using therubyracer, which less-rails requires, due to the bloated slug size that result. During Heroku deploys with therubyracer (or libv8) gems the 'bundle install' will simply hang (clearly failing). Removing therubyracer/libv8 from the production gems and precompiling the assets before deploying to Heroku seems to solve the issue, until the app is run: I, [2014-11-21T20:36:58.449089 #2] INFO -- : Refreshing Gem list [WARNING] Please install gem 'therubyracer' to use Less. /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less/java_script/v8_context.rb:2:in `require': cannot load such file -- v8 (Load from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less/java_script/v8_context.rb:2:in `<top (required)>' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less/java_script.rb:9:in `require' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less/java_script.rb:9:in `default_context_wrapper' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less.rb:14:in `<module:Less>' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less/loader.rb:13:in `initialize' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less/java_script.rb:17:in `context_wrapper' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less.rb:14:in `new' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-2.5.1/lib/less.rb:9:in `<top (required)>' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-rails-2.5.0/lib/less/rails.rb:6:in `require' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-rails-2.5.0/lib/less/rails.rb:6:in `<top (required)>' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-rails-2.5.0/lib/less-rails.rb:1:in `require' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/less-rails-2.5.0/lib/less-rails.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/bundler-1.6.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:76:in `require' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/bundler-1.6.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:76:in `block (2 levels) in require' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/bundler-1.6.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in `each' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/bundler-1.6.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in `block in require' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/bundler-1.6.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:61:in `each' from /app/config/environment.rb:2:in `require' from /app/config/environment.rb:2:in `<top (required)>' from config.ru:4:in `require' from config.ru:4:in `block in <main>' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/rack-1.5.2/lib/rack/builder.rb:55:in `instance_eval' from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/rack-1.5.2/lib/rack/builder.rb:55:in `initialize' from config.ru:1:in `new' from config.ru:1:in `<main>' So my question is, has anyone had any luck deploying and running this configuration on Heroku? If so, how? I'm considering switching to bootstrap-sass since it doesn't appear to have this same crippled dependency, but I really don't want to have to redo all the FontAwesome icons in the app with Glyphicons, which appears to be the default in bootstrap-sass. Any words would be appreciated!
