Running my rails app locally works fine. Then I deployed it to Heroku successfully but when opening the app I get the error:

"We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information."

I'm new to using Heroku, this is my first deployed app so not completely sure of how everything works. In my heroku logs it says that:

ActionView::Template::Error (Webpacker can't find application.css in /app/public/packs/manifest.json. Possible causes:

  1. You want to set webpacker.yml value of compile to true for your environment
  2. Webpack has not yet re-run to reflect updates.
  3. You have misconfigured Webpacker's config/webpacker.yml file. unless you are using the webpack -w or the webpack-dev-server.
  4. Your Webpack configuration is not creating a manifest.

Anyone that has had the same problem or has any tips on how to try and solve this?

This is the whole heroku log:

  • Try running `yarn` (or `bundle`, which calls yarn after updating gems) and `rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production` before deployment, this should run yarn/webpacker and compile your manifest and assets. I'm assuming you're using rails 5.1+? – DivXZero Nov 19 '17 at 14:53
  • I tried this ("bundle" and then "rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production" and then deploying which was successful again) unfortunately didn't work, log looks the same as before. Yes I'm using rails 5.1.3 Is there any way for me to further look into what is missing? Kind of stuck – richiello Nov 19 '17 at 15:22

    Were you able to get this solved? I'm running into the same issue. – Arinthros Jul 23 '19 at 18:51

I had this error, tried to compile and also got :

$ rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
...
rails aborted!
No such middleware to insert after: ActionDispatch::Static

Solved it thanks to this thread by turning with an ENV

# config/environments/production.rb
config.public_file_server.enabled=true` # ENV['RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES'].present?
