ruby on rails - Heroku: Error encountered while saving cache

Question

Everything works fine locally, but when pushing to Heroku:

Eventually I get:

I've only pasted a fraction of the number of times this appears.

My production.rb file has the following properties enabled

  config.cache_classes = true

  config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

  config.serve_static_assets = true

My rails version is Rails 3.2.11

This is related to the recent upgrade of the sass gem to 3.3.0. The sass gem is a dependency of a couple of other sass gems, so even if you don't have it in your Gemfile, it is probably getting loaded. Do a "bundle show" locally and on Heroku and I'm fairly sure you'll see they are different versions (sass was upgraded to 3.3.0 just a couple days ago).

Add:

gem 'sass', '3.2.13'

to your Gemfile and that should fix things for you. Then go submit an issue on github for this gem.

Hope this helps, it worked for me!
