Asset not precompiled error even though log shows it compiled

Hello all,

I’m trying to understand how to include a stylesheet that is inside a sub directory in my css assets folder.

The folder to include is app/assets/css/fonts - folder of fonts and a stylesheet.css

In my app/assets/css/application.css.scss I have included the following line:

*= require fonts/stylesheet.css

Then when I precompile I get the following:

Compiled fonts/stylesheet.css (0ms) (pid 30638)

But when I hit my app from the browser I get the following:

An ActionView::Template::Error occurred in …:

fonts/stylesheet.css isn’t precompiled

actionpack (3.2.13) lib/sprockets/helpers/rails_helper.rb:142:in `digest_for’

So I guess my questions is, what is the proper way to include this stylesheet (and font files) so that all works as it should and I don’t have to hack around this.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

****Sorry guys. I failed to mention that this is a rails 3.2.12 app running ruby uby-1.9.3-p392

In my app/assets/css/application.css.scss I have included the following line:

*= require fonts/stylesheet.css

Then when I precompile I get the following:

Compiled fonts/stylesheet.css (0ms) (pid 30638)

This means that the compiled application.css contains the result of compiling fonts/stylesheet.scss

The error you're seeing indicates that you're link directly to fonts/stylesheet.css (ie the produced HTML contains a <link> tag whose href is pointing at that file.

If you want to be able to link to css or javascript like this you need to add the file to the list of items to precompile separately ( there's a setting for this in production.rb). Alternately you could just link to application.css

I had this problem yesterday.

I my /app/views/layouts/application.html.haml I had folowing: = stylesheet_link_tag “application”, :media => “all” = stylesheet_link_tag “style”, :media => “all”

Removing stylesheet_link_tag “style”, :media => “all” has solved the problem.

So in your case probably you have to remove something like: stylesheet_link_tag “fonts”

Thanks for the response Frederick.

I did see in my application.rb that I could add

config.assets.paths << “#{Rails.root}/app/assets/stylesheets/fonts”

config.assets.precompile += [“fonts/stylesheets.css”]

but both gave me the same error as in my first post. Am I specifying this incorrectly somehow?

How would I do the alternative linking to application.css if all else fails?

Removing stylesheet_link_tag “style”, :media => “all” has solved the problem.

I just took a look at my application.html.erb file and saw that I had the following:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag “application”, media: “all” %>

<%= stylesheet_link_tag “fonts/stylesheet.css” %>

<%= javascript_include_tag “application” %>

I will remove that second line and see if things compile properly.

So removing that link gave me a different error

An ActionView::Template::Error occurred in …

So I think I am probably over the hurdle for now. Hopefully I can figure out this particular issue and be on my way :slight_smile:

Thanks for the advice and understanding guys!
