Rails App works locally but not when deployed on Heroku

votes

I have been following along with Michael Hartl's Rails tutorial and at the end of chapter 5 attempted to deploy my app to Heroku. I went through the usual steps and ensured that the app was running correctly locally.

When I attempted to open the app I received the following error message:

We're Sorry but something went wrong. Check logs for more information

I ran 

$heroku logs

and was given the following

The following is the contents of my application.html.erb file:

   <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-   track' => true %>

    <div class="container">
       <%= yield %>
       <%= render "layouts/footer" %>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Here are the contents of the _shim file being referenced:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html5shiv/r29/html15.min.js">
    </script>
<![endif]-->

I know this is messy but looking through this I am not sure what the issue is. I was hoping someone more experienced would be able to point me in the right direction.

Thank you

can you please add you application.html.erb file? – Nirupa
you should add this to your question. I'm sorry but it's difficult to read the file in comments. – Nirupa

This is the error:

ActionView::Template::Error (Missing partial layouts/_shim with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :raw, :ruby, :coffee, :jbuilder]}. Searched in:

You are missing shim partial in your main layouts, create the shim partial as it is called in main layout file.

From the logs it looks like you are missing or have misplaced your shim partial, since the app can't find it. In Rails file names for partials begin with an underscore like so: '_shim.html.erb'

Please update your application.html.erb file as below before deploying to heroku:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title><%= full_title(yield(:title)) %></title>
    <%= render 'layouts/rails_default' %>
    <%= render 'layouts/shim' %>
  </head>
  <body>
    <%= render 'layouts/header' %>
    <div class="container">
      <%= yield %>
      <%= render 'layouts/footer' %>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

I had the same error message on Heroku though the app ran locally (on cloud9). It turns out the file could not be found by Heroku because I had limited my git commits to git commit -am 'message'. As a result I had not committed any newly created files (git commit -am only commits modified files, not newly created files). Try running git add . and then committing. That should allow Heroku to 'see' the file it is missing.

It may be too late to answer your question but hopefully this may help someone searching for an answer to this problem - like I was.
