HOWTO: Build assets with new Twitter Bootstrap version

This article was written to help you fix problems with twitter-bootstrap-gem after bumping original twitter-bootstrap version.

So, if you updated gem and encounter issues with

• glyphicons styles
• old bootstrap version of javascript or css files
• improper javascript calls

tips below may help you.

1. Remove old versions of twitter-bootstrap-rails gem

$ gem cleanup twitter-bootstrap-rails

2. Increase assets version in config/application.rb file

# Version of your assets, change this if you want to expire all your assets
config.assets.version = '1.1'    # <--- Bump it up!

3. Regenerate twitter-bootstrap-rails default files

$ rails generate bootstrap:install

NB! Be careful! This could overwrite changes you have made to bootstrap_and_overrides and other bootstrap files. Always check diff before doing this.
