Pushing RoR to heroku RoR tutorial

Question

I am trying to learn Ruby on Rails for the first time and the install/setup is is a lot to take in and I am having a bit of trouble. Specifically portion 1.4.2 of http://www.railstutorial.org/book/beginning#uid28 the Heroku setup.

When I enter in the command git push heroku master I get errors which prevent me from continuing in the tutorial. Please let me know if there is any other piece of information I should provide.

The problem seems to be

Running: rake assets:precompile
       rake aborted!
       NoMethodError: undefined method `configure' for #<FirstApp::Application:0x007fee78f193e8>

However in this tutorial I do not recall creating/editing any method named configure

Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '4.0.1'
group :development do
  gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.8'
end

# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets

group :doc do
  gem 'sdoc', '0.3.20', require: false
end

group :production do
  gem 'pg', '0.15.1'
  gem 'rails_12factor', '0.0.2'
end

Configure

This is the error for your perusal:

undefined method `configure'

--

The problem looks like you've got some sort of reference to "configure" in your config/application.rb / config/environments/development.rb / config/environments/production.rb files

I've just seen your edit, and went to the tutorial to see what was up. I could not find any references to configure either, so I went to look at some answers for you, and found this:

I resolved it by doing following step.

Step 1: go to app/config/initializers/development.rb

Change this line

Rails.application.configure do To

Your_Rails_Application_Folder_name::Application.configure do For example

My rails project folder name is 'Spree_demo' so **Your_Rails_Application_Folder_name**

in the following line

Your_Rails_Application_Folder_name::Application.configure do will replace as

SpreeDemo::Application.configure do Note: See underscore in your application folder name it gets removed.

Hope it works for you guys.

Thanks for the help. However I don't seem to have a `development.rb` file =/ – Liondancer Jun 19 '14 at 07:08
Which version of Rails are you using? Try in `config/environments/developent.rb` – Richard Peck Jun 19 '14 at 07:12
I am using Rails version 4.0.1 i believe. At least that is what it says in my Gemfile. Also when I type in the command `rvm -v` it says I have 1.25.27 (stable) not sure if this has anything to do with the error. I tried the edits and the same error occured =/ – Liondancer Jun 19 '14 at 07:19
You'd best typing `rails -v` in your CMD - you'll be getting back the `RVM` version otherwise :) Have you checked your `config/environments/development.rb`? – Richard Peck Jun 19 '14 at 08:14
I deleted the project and redid the ch 1 tutorial and it went smoothly . There must have been something I forgotten sorry for wasting your time. I really appreciate your help – Liondancer Jun 19 '14 at 08:17
lol it happens - glad you got it working again! You may want to accept my answer so no-one else answers, and future viewers will read this comments section for updates – Richard Peck Jun 19 '14 at 08:21

**You may want to accept my answer** Your answer didn't solve the op's problem, why should the op accept your answer? – 7stud Sep 23 '14 at 19:04
