deployment of rails app on heroku not working

Well, this is much further than I got in terms with the styling, so Im all ears about how to hear you got it hosted.

A couple questions that I couldnt seem to manipulate with CSS:

1. how do I get the grey hover over all statuses to only focus on the text area and not just the entire length of the page?

2. how do I remove the bullet point next to the login

3. How can I make the Register & Login in-lined instead of vertically stacked?

Like I said I tried to manipulate this all with css but it was acting wonky or unresponsive.

I cant even get my rails working because of the gem installs I did

Heres the error:

An error occurred while installing pg (0.17.1), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install pg -v '0.17.1' succeeds before bundling. chriss-mbp:treebook salvi$

OK, step by step:

I changed the Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '4.1.4'
gem 'devise'
gem 'simple_form'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'sqlite3'
end

group :production do
  gem 'pg'
  gem 'rails_12factor'
end

gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.3'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 2.0'
gem 'sdoc', '~> 0.4.0',          group: :doc
gem 'spring',        group: :development

ruby "2.1.2"

I added this to the .gitignore file:

/config/database.yml
database.yml
config/database.yml

This is crucial. You have to make Git ignore the whole database.yml file so that it doesn't go to GitHub or Heroku - Heroku will generate its own file then, configured properly. This would require you to temporarily delete that file from the directory, delete it from Git in a new commit (google how to do it properly, there are some differences in how versions of git handle this) and then just add it back manually, but Git will no longer see it thanks to gitignore. Alternatively you can leave it be and just edit it a bit in the production section in accordance with Heroku's tutorial.

Run bundle install --without production (or --without=production) to get the new Gemfile.lock, add and commit all changes, run heroku create, run git push heroku master, and finally run heroku run rake db:migrate.

This should not require you to install the pg gem at all and Heroku will take care of the rest.

And now for your CSS problems:

1) I think you would need to use jQuery for this. In CSS you always apply the style to the whole thing you are targeting and with jQuery you can traverse to siblings, children, parents etc. of the thing you are targeting.

2) You're looking for this in ul tag style (make sure it's in the last loaded css file): ul { list-style-type: none; }

3) This should help: li { display: inline; }

I am nominating you for polish sainthood. You are the best!

:)

I bet you're really looking forward to my next slate of desperate posts as I tackle the intermediate add friends challenge hahaha

Well, this would actually force me to get through these videos myself and learn how it works (I never did), so yeah, I kinda do ;)

do you have any recommendations on what to read to get a better idea of Rails 4? I think Im only learning a superficial level from the videos unlike with the javascript or html css lessons. I am very comfortable manipulating the dom and styling normally, but it gets complicated with rails because of how much intersection interaction there is between languages.

I say we forge a little alliance across the great wide sea and work on it together Maciej! I have been already documenting all the errors I made and your help from the first lesson, and it would be fun to continue on and discover making these features work in Rails together!

Sure, I would love to :). I used to have a code buddy once, but he no longer has time to work with me. The only helpful thing that comes to my mind right now are RailsApps and Pragmatic Rails 4 book.

I am using the master branch, and I dont see any errors in the terminal.

ok it says that I need to run a install bundle, but when I do that it says the following:

I tried to execute the

sudo gem install pg -v '0.17.1' but it threw an error, as is want these days :(

This seems to be necessary in order for me to procompile the assets according to stack overflow.

OK, did you follow the current step-by-step the instructions heroku published for your version of Rails?

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-rails4

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-rails3

no, but I did follow the video steps to a T. I did manage to get something up on the internet, just not with the style.

I went through the documentation Maciej but did not find anything helpful. If you dont mind taking a look at my github account this weekend to find whats wrong I would appreciate it.

Sure. Just give me the link again. I will try to deploy it myself and see what happens.

I also just had my interview on skype today with hack reactor, which could have gone better. I forgot how to use higher order fx in context of a previously written function implemented into a new sort function, but such is life. I gave it my best and hope that my github activity spares me any detraction from the tech interview.
