Rails preprends url to asset path in production - ruby-on-rails

Question

I recently created a rails app which is hosted in Heroku. When you access the app, both the css and the javascript dont load.
This is the url that is being generated
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/events/assets/application-9a60e8cdcf689d8333e107c58a2d6fe35cd8367ea14a2911c56898e476dadd09.css" data-turbolinks-track="reload" />
But is shouldn't have the /events/ part added to it.
My CSS and JS are being called from views/layouts/application.html.haml
This is my environments/production.rb file:
Rails.application.configure do
# Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb.
# Code is not reloaded between requests.
config.cache_classes = true
# Eager load code on boot. This eager loads most of Rails and
# your application in memory, allowing both threaded web servers
# and those relying on copy on write to perform better.
# Rake tasks automatically ignore this option for performance.
config.eager_load = true
# Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on.

config.public_file_server.enabled = ENV['RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES'].present?
if ENV["RAILS_LOG_TO_STDOUT"].present?
logger = ActiveSupport::Logger.new(STDOUT)
logger.formatter = config.log_formatter
config.logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(logger)
end

config.active_record.dump_schema_after_migration = false
end
Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

This line config.relative_url_root = "/events" in your production.rb is prepending the /events to your url. If this is intentional and your app is in events sub directory, something else might be causing the issue. You can run RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile or RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=/events RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile locally to get further info about the error.

Answer 2

Did you precompile the assets while uploading to heroku?
RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile
