Dependency on bootstrap-rails gem is too version-specific

[billsaysthis]

Keeping sync between the two gems is too difficult; right now, for instance, one cannot update to the Bootstrap 3 branch of that gem because of RailsAdmin's need for bootstrap-sass (~> 2.3) when to use the other I need to specify :git => 'git://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass.git', :branch => '3'.

+1 on this issue. Can we statically include bootstrap 2 css files for now?

[bulleric]

I implement an fork branch. The dependency for bootstrap is removed and bootstrap-sass is statically included.

gem "rails_admin", git: "[email protected]:bulleric/rails_admin.git", branch: "bootstrap2-dependency-patch"

[AlJohri]

@bulleric If used with boostrap-sass 3 via

gem 'bootstrap-sass', :git => 'git://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass.git', :branch => '3'

Bootstrap 2 overrides Bootstrap 3 when assets are precompiled.

@bulleric Can we submit a pull request with your fork? Why can't we statically include bootstrap inside of just the rails_admin template side? There has to be some kind of hook so your main app and this app both have different styles.

[bulleric]

Ah big sry it was my fault... I include statically the bootstrap files directly in
assets/styleesheets/

• bootstrap.css
• bootstrap.min.css
• bootstrap-response.css
• bootstrap-responsive.min.css
• bootstrap ( directory)
  In other respects every application wich mount rails_admin will load this static bootstrap files.
  Now i remove all files excepting the bootstrap directory, i rename the bootstrap directory to bootstrap2 and adjust all bootstrap includes in assets/stylesheets/rails_admin/rails_admin.scss.erb

I think rails_admin only need the bootstrap directory because rails_admin.scss.erb doesn't include other files.
I think my branch is now stable with that patch and bootstrap3 can be used in an application with rails_admin
I submit an pull request to the rails_admin master.

--> #1733

Yeah, need a solution for Rails 3.2.x and bootstrap-sass 3

[billsaysthis]

Why is this such a difficult problem to resolve? I have installed bootstrap-sass, pointing to the GH repo but not a branch, and yet bundle install still fails with this error:

Resolving dependencies...
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "bootstrap-sass":
In Gemfile:
rails_admin (>= 0) ruby depends on
bootstrap-sass (~> 2.0) ruby

bootstrap-sass (3.0.0.0)

still need a solution for Rails 3.2 and bootstrap-sass 3

To anyone else watching this ticket, this issue was fixed in master by #1799.

[mshibuya]

Already fixed by #1799.

Any hope of seeing this in the rails-3.x branch, a 0.4.10 release, or another way of using it with Rails 3.x? The gemspec in master requires rails 4.

[hamxiaoz]

+1, I'm using rails 3 and want to use bootstrap-sass 3.x but rails_admin requires bootstrap-sass 2.x.
The fixed rails_admin requires rails 4 however.

[amseledka]

for those who are looking for a way to use rails 3 + bs3 + rails_admin, try #1799 (comment)
