CSS is not loading in app
CSS won't load in my rails app. This is index.html.erb file located in view/products:
<h1>Listing products</h1>
<table>
<% @products.each do |product| %>
<tr class="<%= cycle('list_line_odd', 'list_line_even') %>">
<td>
<%= image_tag(product.image_url, :class=> 'list_image') %>
</td>
<td class="list_description">
<dl>
<dt><%= product.title %></dt>
<dd><%= truncate(strip_tags(product.description), :length=> 80) %></dd>
</dl>
</td>
<td class="list_actions">
<%= link_to 'Show', product %><br/>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_product_path(product) %><br/>
<%= link_to 'Destroy', product,
:confirm=> 'Are you sure?',
:method=> :delete %>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
<br />
<%= link_to 'New product', new_product_path %>
Then I have the application.html.erb file located in view/layouts. This file should link the css to html.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Depot</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
My css file products.css.scss located in assets/stylesheets looks like this:
.products {
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table tr td {
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: top;
}
.list_image {
width: 60px;
height: 70px;
}
.list_description {
width: 60%;
dl {
margin: 0;
}
dt {
color: #244;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: larger;
}
dd {
margin: 0;
}
}
.list_actions {
font-size: x-small;
text-align: right;
padding-left: 1em;
}
.list_line_even {
background-color: #e0f8f8;
}
.list_line_odd {
background-color: #f8b0f8;
}
}
And finally my my application.css file looks like this:
/*
* This is a manifest file that'll automatically include all the stylesheets available in this directory
* and any sub-directories. You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at
* the top of the compiled file, but it's generally better to create a new file per style scope.
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*/
Everything looks okay to me and as I understand the application.css gathers up all the other css files so you don't have to link them all manually. Am I correct?
Also here is the server log when I load the page:

Why is my app not showing any CSS?
Answer
Do you have this in your ProductsController, or if absent, ApplicationController?
layout "application"
You've got a pre-asset pipeline <%= stylesheet_link_tag :all %> somewhere, which normally includes all stylesheets in /public/stylesheets, but it's telling asset pipeline to look for a file named all.css.
Since <%= stylesheet_link_tag :all %> is clearly not in your application.html.erb layout, some other layout is being rendered. Hunt it down, and/or ensure your controller(s) are calling the correct layout.
