Adding twitter-bootstrap-rails with an existing rails app

Question

I am trying to use twitter-bootstrap-rails with an existing rails application and getting the following error when i refreshed the page.

no such file to load -- less (

Answer 1

In my case, only re-starting the rails server did not do the trick. I had to do following things to fix the problem.

1. I needed to install the missing gems first. I added following lines to my Gemfile :

  gem "therubyracer"
  gem "less-rails"

Then in console I ran:

bundle install

2. Lastly, I had to re-start my rails server.

After all these steps, twitter bootstrap started working with my rails app. Hope this helps someone who faces the same trouble that I did !
