Tried several fixes: Heroku/Rails 4 Assets Precompile Error
Looks like this is a common issue, so let me begin by saying I've done a lot of research already. Following this thread, I ran heroku labs:enable user-env-compile -a myapp Then I made sure that assets precompile locally by running RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile They do. I also followed this tip, setting config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false in my config/production.rb and config/application.rb. Also, following this issue, I've made sure I have the heroku gems installed: gem 'rails_log_stdout', github: 'heroku/rails_log_stdout' gem 'rails3_serve_static_assets',
