all roads point to bootstrap-sass
Referral chain:
- railscast-328 (twitter bootstrap basics) refers to
- http://www.sitepoint.com/twitter-bootstrap-less-and-sass-understanding-your-options-for-rails-3-1/ which refers to
- https://github.com/jlong/sass-bootstrap which in turn exclaims there is a new official port of bootstrap to sass at
- https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass which is another one of the options in the twitter-bootstrap article
It is reported as an issue with the bootstrap-rails gem: https://github.com/anjlab/bootstrap-rails/issues/91
I believe I installed it correctly
The gems
gem 'sass-rails', '>= 3.2' # sass-rails needs to be higher than 3.2
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.1.1'
are installed (tried outside and inside of assets group), application.css.scss contains
@import "bootstrap";
only.
but it gives me an error
When attempting bundle exec rake assets:precompile it gives this error:
rake aborted!
Undefined variable: "$alert-padding".

I checked that /home/joe/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bootstrap-sass-3.1.1.0/vendor/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap.scss does actually import the _variables.scss file below it in the bootsrap/ directory first (prior to _alerts.scss etc), and it does... and in _variables.scss it defines $alert_padding.
I suspect I'm missing something obvious
In the environments/production.rb file I commented everything about assets out, and tried just config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = true in accordance with the manual https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass
research so far
- bootstrap-sass: Undefined variable: "$baseLineHeight"
- Proper SCSS Asset Structure in Rails
- Using twitter bootstrap with rails assets pipeline and less
- https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/issues/79#issuecomment-4428595
- trying to import bootstrap via bootstrap-sass on heroku but getting an error
- https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass
- https://github.com/anjlab/bootstrap-rails/issues/91
- railscast 328, 329 and 268 looking for clues
- googling about
- modifying gem's bootstrap/bootstrap.scss to use underscore and .scss, various tinkering such as commenting out lines relating to assets in
environments/production.rb, commenting in only the one in the gem's page (manual)config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = true
issue identified
I copied the gem's contents into my assets directory, which is essentially what jlong's bootstrap did.
its not looking at application.css.scss... its ignoring what I put in there and electing to instead look into the folders and loading those files. Which is why it sees alerts.scss first. I tried changing the name of _variables.scss to _aavariables.scss to no avail
My specific problem turned out to be some code hiding in application.rb...
how I found it
I added puts config.assets.precompile.inspect to config/environments/production.rb and marvelled at the regex it output. Then I searched the codebase for "config.assets.precompile" and lo, in application.rb, there was:
config.assets.precompile << /(^[^_\/]|\/[^_])[^\/]*$/
...
config.assets.precompile += ["*.js", "*.css", "jquery-migrate-rails.js"]
which was causing the problem. (I'm slightly puzzled as I've triple checked those regexes and they shouldn't be picking up _alerts.scss... but lets gloss over that and focus on the fact that removing those lines fixed it)
Maybe this will help someone else...
Don't know why but for me it helped to put into assets.rb this line
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += [/^[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*\..*/]
Initially I had the Sass::SyntaxError: Undefined variable: "$alert-padding". problem with this line
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += [/.*\.css/]
But after I changed it to the first one the problem was solved and everything worked in production.

I was facing same issue with Rails 4.
I figured out solution to overwrite the gems.
For it I copy the bootstrap gem bootstrap-sass-X.X.X.X in vendors folder
Than Change in Gemfile for gem path
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '3.3.1.0', :path => 'vendor/bootstrap-sass-X.X.X.X'
than write these 2 line
@import "bootstrap/variables";
@import "bootstrap/mixins";
at top of each of file which are inside the bootstrap folder
(vendor/bootstrap-sass-X.X.X.X/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap)
//like for _alerts.scss
// Alerts
// --------------------------------------------------
@import "bootstrap/variables";
@import "bootstrap/mixins";
// Base styles
// -------------------------
