Problem with Asset Pipeline

rubyonrails-talk

I had a problem when I tried to upgrade from Rails 3.0 + Jammit to Rails 3.1 Asset Pipeline. I created app/assets folder, under it I have both javascripts/application.js.coffee and stylesheets/ application.css.scss. I included both using stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag, but it just could not load the CSS correctly. The application keeps trying to load css from /stylesheets/ application.css which is a 404 error (the js loads fine from assets/ application.js). I am using the latest rails 3.1.1 and other libraries. So what is the problem here?

Thanks!

what's the content of your application.js application.css ?

btw seems you don't need .css.scss extension, can write only .scss

3

The content in application.css.scss is

/* *= require_self *= require_tree . */

The application.js.coffee is

#= require jquery

I am simply just to test out the new asset pipeline. As I said the application has no problem to load application.js, but it just cannot find the correct location of application.js (keeps loading / stylesheets/application.css instead of /assets/application.css)

In your config/application.rb do you have

config.assets.enabled = true

and in the config/environments/development.rb have

config.assets.compress = false config.assets.debug = true

I had a similar issue but forgot to add all this stuff. After adding it, mine started working

Hope that helps, ~Jeremy

Hi, Jeremy,

I have all these set up correctly. That is why the JS part is working, but the CSS part just does not work at all.

It is really frustrating for me.

Thanks a lot for your help anyway!

Is it rails 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 ? Did you change the config.assets.prefix at all? Is there still a stylesheets folder in your public folder?

I actually have no idea at this point, so I'm hoping to spark something that allows you to figure it out :slight_smile:

It is Rails 3.1.1. I use default for config.assets.prefix I removed stylesheets folder from public folder though.

Anyone has a good idea about the problem? I am really stuck on this one. Thanks!

+1 to this problem. I updated from 3.0.0 followed the instructions on the rails guides page for updating and have the exact same issue. I tried discussing it in a ticket but have not herd anything back. Did you find a fix for this?

Today I tried to replace jammit with asset pipeline in 3.1 again. This time I got much further, the app could server JS and images correctly from assets/ folder.

But I was not able to make the CSS right. I used stylesheet_link_tag, but it kept serving CSS from /stylesheets/ instead of /assets/. Anyone has an idea about this problem?

Thanks!
