Don't know how to build task 'assets:clean_expired'

[runemadsen]

Suddenly I'm getting this error when pushing to Heroku. This happened after bumping to gem version gem 'turbo-sprockets-rails3', '~> 0.3.11'. Using Rails version 3.2.13.

Any ideas of what could cause this?

Using Rails 3.2.18 with

gem 'turbo-sprockets-rails3', '~> 0.3.11'

I am having the same error.

+1

+1

RAILS_GROUP=assets rake -T | grep asset will list out that task. But deploying to heroku will raise the missing exception.

Please try updating to 0.3.14 and let me know if it's fixed

[drewB]

The error is is still there is 0.3.14

[drewB]

@runemadsen what version of the gem was working?

[runemadsen]

@drewB It happened when I bumped from 0.3.6 to 0.3.11.

[drewB]

Interesting. I still get the error on 0.3.6.

[pboling]

We've had the error on our deploys for at least a year, but not sure what versions.

[ndbroadbent]

Sorry I haven't been able to resolve this issue yet, would greatly appreciate a pull request if anyone can find a solution.

Just ran into this issue, too, when upgrading from 0.3.6 to 0.3.14.

[mockdeep]

Just downgraded back to 0.3.6 to double check and I'm still seeing the error. I never noticed it before, but that's not to say it wasn't there. However, I did upgrade a bunch of gems today, so it may have been caused by that. Upgraded from rails 3.2.15 to 3.2.19.

[charlesdeb]

Yep, same error here. Using rails 3.2.13, turbo-sprockets-rails3 (0.3.11). Even though I get the error, heroku still deploys a lot faster than without turbo-sprockets and it seems to deploy and launch fine.

Got same error when deploying heroku. below is the my env:

• Ruby ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-darwin13.2.0]
• Rails 3.2.19
• turbo-sprockets-rails3 0.3.14

rake -T on heroku:

❯ heroku run 'rake -T' | grep assets:clean 
Running `bundle exec rake -T` on myapp as run.2693:
rake assets:clean                  # Remove compiled assets

rake -T on local machine:

❯ bundle exec rake -T | grep assets:clean
rake assets:clean                  # Remove compiled assets
rake assets:clean_expired          # Remove old assets that aren't referenced by manifest.yml

I also see this issue when running the target from within supervisord:

Aha!

Add require 'turbo-sprockets-rails3' to config/application.rb per a vaguely similar http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7205964/dont-know-how-to-build-task-assetsprecompile

[forgotpw1]

I was able to resolve the heroku deploy error on rails 3.2.17 and turbo-sprockets-rails3 I had to set config.assets.handle_expired to true in the config/environments/production.rb file and add the config variable RAILS_GROUPS=assets to the heroku environment
