While it's executing:
RAILS_ENV="production" bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_GROUPS=assets

it gives me:

Since no error messages to track this problem, I have no idea to fix this.

Have you tried doing that command locally?

[hlcfan]

@d4be4st it works as expected locally.

[d4be4st]

Hm.. Try to run mina deploy -v in verbose mode, and see that it tells you.
Unfortunately i need more information :(

[d4be4st]

Oh, @hlcfan do you have nodejs installed on server or are you using rubyracer gem?

[hlcfan]

Using -v gives me same error.
Yes, Im using therubyracer in Gemfile and I dont have nodejs installed on my server

[d4be4st]

one more thing you can try is run the command manually on the server, as see what errors it gives you

[hlcfan]

@d4be4st Just removed therubyracer, use nodejs instead, therubyracer sucks!

Gracias!

I ran into this same issue and couldn't find any good answers. Finally figured out that it was my Digital Ocean droplet running out of RAM and the process was being killed. You can read more about my solution here.
