Everything is OK, but the bootstrap css is not loading anymore?

Is this on your development environment or on Heroku?

Hi Minzawmra,

Thanks for your reply. It's in my development environment.

I finally also tried to download the very last project file of the lesson but still same, not loading the bootstrap. Everything works fine, although there are some failures that I don't get on the final stage -- but I know it works cause I did a cheat by harcoding the bootstrap css to the html then run the server - I don't know what else to do about it - but it does work.

Does it have anything to do with ruby or rails version?

I did have some problems when deploying to Heroku. It was resolved by following the instructions here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-rails4#heroku-gems They did mention that it was related to Rails 4.

I didn't face this in my development environment. Are you on Rails 4 or 3? I was using Rails 4 throughout. Are you using Bootstrap 3 (the latest version) or Bootstrap 2? It sounds like the CSS files could not be found.

Where is your bootstrap.css file in? app/assets/stylesheets? Does your application.css file have: *= require_self *= require_tree .

Turned out I was on rails 3.2.6 I'm not too sure how it's not 4 maybe because I ended up re-installing mavericks and xcode following brew doctor recommendations. But at that time I've installed the 4.1.4 cause now that I'm doing that again, I remember I've read that 'Installing ri documentation for rails-4.1.4' before.

How could this happen? How do I end up using 3.2.6 without I even realize it? :D

Should there be some sort of dash dash something when creating the app that the video doesn't tell you? Like rails new treebook dash something Could this be the issue?

But how did I even manage to complete odot with no problem? I didn't even realize the rails server I was on and I think this course is even older than odot. Eh? I dont get it.

Would you recommend a good reference to start rails? I found here is quite confusing. No, it's not me, I believe it's the videos. Lol

OK it's just finished installing rails 4.1.4 the terminal said that but when I type rails -v it shows rails 3.2.6 Why? How?

Oh ok. I've totally misunderstood the whole idea. *Just reading rails' documentation about it again. I think I'm just gonna pass treebook and move on. I don't know what is it about the thing that I just don't get. Or maybe will actually get it after I move on.

You can have multiple versions of Rails installed and can specify which version to use. That's probably what happened. I can't remember the exact video but there was one which tells you how to switch versions.

Yes, the videos for treebook are in Rails 3. They are about a year to 18 months old. Rails 4 introduced pretty drastic changes in some areas. I used Rails 4 because I wanted to build my project in Rails 4. I didn't want to learn something outdated and then learn to setup Rails 4 afterwards. Be warned: following treebook using Rails 4 isn't a smooth road. I had to google, stack-overflow and debug often to get things running smoothly. Once I got these issues sorted, it was straight forward to develop my project using Rails 4. I've just managed to complete it and have put my code using Rails 4 on GitHub.

Hi minzawmra

Thank you!!! Finally i know I'm not crazy or that dumb haha! I agree sometimes - no actually many times - lots and lots of problem and the more I try to check by re-run the video the more I got confused. I think it's better to remove these videos cause so much headache. One year is too old for rails!

Just one more question, how did you manage to run treebook on rails 4? I'm stuck when bundling with one of the gems that is not compatible - i think it's simpleform? Did you finally get that to work with rails 4 or did you replace it with other gem?

I agree with you that the videos are sometimes confusing. I persevered because as far as treebook is concerned, it is a very cool project. Even if the staff cannot update the videos (which I understand is a lot of work), they should put notes for rails 4 users or source code with modifications for rails 4.

Oh I see so you started the whole thing. Which I did, actually and everything was fine until I decided to back to the video then next thing i know the bootstrap is gone lol. Thanks I will definitely look up your git on this project. It is, actually kind of cool project. I should do the same. Don't follow the videos, but watch them as reference only.

I remember now simple form is that thing that is suppose to refactor forms isn't it? For me It turned out to be confusing so kind of glad we dont really have to use it.

But it's kind of too complex to be labeled as 'Beginner' course, don't u think? I think for subject as complex as rails we need to start with something very basic to understand how it works, first, rather than worrying too much about bootstrap and javascript and all that already. I like the way on Active Records course. For me everything start to make sense after I follow Hampton's steps to create Hamblog in the beginning of the course. Before that I had done all the previously published rails courses (incl. treebook and started the odot) but none make any sense to me, as a beginner.

Anyway thanks again! Feels much better now about rails :)
