  1. PORepair git -fd clean mistake ? Now seeing "cannot load such file -- less"
    text
    copied!<p>Without understanding, I mistakenly ran <code>git clean -fd</code> and saw this:</p> <pre><code>perrys-MacBook-Pro:pc perry_mac$ git clean -fd Removing log/ Removing public/system/ Removing tmp/ </code></pre> <p>Now, when I run <code>rails s</code> and load <code>http://localhost:3000/</code> I get:</p> <pre><code>LoadError at / cannot load such file -- less (in /Users/perry_mac/rails_projects/pc/app/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap_and_overrides.css.less) </code></pre> <p>Rails Better Errors shows that the exception happens in line 7</p> <p>app/views/layouts/application.html.erb</p> <pre><code> 2 &lt;html&gt; 3 &lt;head&gt; 4 &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"&gt; 5 &lt;title&gt;&lt;%= content_for?(:title) ? yield(:title) : "Some Cases" %&gt;&lt;/title&gt; 6 &lt;meta name="description" content="&lt;%= content_for?(:description) ? yield(:description) : "Some Radiology Cases" %&gt;"&gt; 7 &lt;%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", :media =&gt; "all" %&gt; 8 &lt;%= javascript_include_tag "application" %&gt; 9 &lt;%= csrf_meta_tags %&gt; 10 &lt;%= yield(:head) %&gt; 11 &lt;/head&gt; 12 &lt;body&gt; </code></pre> <p>Having now read more on <code>git clean</code> I fear I Have made a terrible mistake. In truth, I don't understand what I may have lost. The output of </p> <pre><code>Removing log/ Removing public/system/ Removing tmp/ </code></pre> <p>... seems innocuous enough. Am I just one step away from getting my app running again or is it something worse? I understand that whatever <code>git clean -fd</code> removed is unrecoverable.</p> <p>Here is a <a href="http://pastebin.com/eMAHuZ4v" rel="nofollow">pastebin of my gemfile</a>, which I think has all the expected gems.<br> Here is a <a href="http://pastebin.com/JcWsTaFE" rel="nofollow">pastebin of my .gitignore</a> file.</p> <p>I am further confused because <code>/config/database.yml</code> is in <code>.gitignore</code>, but the file was not deleted.</p> <p>Please address your answer towards these two points:</p> <p>1) Based on the output, is there a simple way to know what files I have lost? What is now gone?<br> 2) Why has my rails app stopped working and what's a good next step to fix it?</p> <p>ADDENDUM 1:<br> I ran bundle install<br> I ran rails <code>g bootstrap:install less</code> </p> <pre><code>perrys-MacBook-Pro:pc perry_mac$ rails g bootstrap:install less SECURITY WARNING: No secret option provided to Rack::Session::Cookie.
