bootstrap-formhelpers doesn't work: scss won't include less files!

[jmuheim]

I tried to add bootstrap-formhelpers asset. But I get the following error:

File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap-formhelpers/bootstrap-formhelpers.

It seems that the generated bootstrap-formhelpers.scss tries to load .less files, but this doesn't seem to work. When renaming the file to a .less file itself, it's working.

What to do?

I suggest using files from dist directory: bootstrap-formhelpers/dist/css/bootstrap-formhelpers.

You can also ping author to add main file entry in bower.json, so it will be fetched instead less version.

I'll leave it open because theoretically if we autodiscover main less file, the manifest should be in .less too. Maybe even convert .less to .scss, because .less generally sucks in Rails.

How can this be achieved?

I already have created a PR, but sadly, the maintainer doesn't respond. Is there a way to specify a fork with rails-assets?

Require path I mentioned. rails assets can compile any fork on GitHub from
"add component" tab. You need to create new tag in fork.

I don't get it. These files under dist/ aren't available in my checked out rails-assets-bootstrap-formhelpers gem, there's only the .less stuff.

Having same issue with bootstrap-select. Only became an issue when upgrading to 4.0.9 from 3.2.18.

In new version of rails-assets, .less files won't be used as main assets. This should prevent your issue. Please wait for deployment, I'll notify about it on our twitter account.
