Rails 4: assets not loading in production

Question

I'm trying to put my app into production and image and css asset paths aren't working.

Here's what I'm currently doing:

• Image assets live in /app/assets/images/image.jpg
• Stylesheets live in /app/assets/stylesheets/style.css
• In my layout, I reference the css file like this: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "styles", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
• Before restarting unicorn, I run RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile and it succeeds and I see the fingerprinted files in the public/assets directory.

When I browse to my site, I get a 404 not found error for mysite.com/stylesheets/styles.css.

What am I doing wrong?

Update: In my layout, it looks like this:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    "bootstrap.min", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag    "styles", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>

The generate source is this:

<link data-turbolinks-track="true" href="/stylesheets/bootstrap.min.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<link data-turbolinks-track="true" href="/stylesheets/styles.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<script data-turbolinks-track="true" src="/assets/application-0c647c942c6eff10ad92f1f2b0c64efe.js"></script>

Looks like Rails is not properly looking for the compiled css files. But it's very confusing why it's working correctly for javascripts (notice the /assets/****.js path).

Answer 1

In rails 4 you need to make the changes below:

config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.precompile =  ['*.js', '*.css', '*.css.erb'] 

This works with me. use following command to pre-compile assets

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Best of luck!
