Rake assets:precompile undefined method directory? for nil:NilClass?

This is what happens when the file system can't find one of the assets it thinks its supposed to precompile. This happened to me when my VM could not find one of the files in my shared folder (Weird VMware issue where it appeared in the directory listing but the file did not actually exist).

I had created a symbolic link to a non-existent file by mistake in the assets/javascript directory. Removing the link fixed the problem. Note that I do have other links in the assets directory so links in general are not a problem.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
