title: Deploying to Heroku a Rails 4 + AngularJS website using Bower
body: <p>I'm trying to deploy a Rails 4 + AngularJS app to Heroku.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is Heroku does not see the bower_components in my vendor/assets file even though I've added the path to my application.rb file</p>
  
  <pre><code>  config.assets.paths &lt;&lt; Rails.root.join('vendor', 'assets', 'bower_components')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Heroku push origin master:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   -----&gt; Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
     Running: rake assets:precompile
     ...
     rake aborted!
     Sprockets::FileNotFound: couldn't find file 'angular'
     (in /tmp/build_e660cd4b8a3168401ec4da7e261784fe/app/assets/javascripts/application.js:18)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using the Bowerfile but bowerrails does not create a bower.json file.</p>
