asset_path in scss file rails - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am having issues with asset_path in production. Rails 3.1.1
#config/environments/development.rb
Scc::Application.configure do
# Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb
# In the development environment your application's code is reloaded on
# every request. This slows down response time but is perfect for development
# since you don't have to restart the web server when you make code changes.
config.cache_classes = false
# Log error messages when you accidentally call methods on nil.
config.whiny_nils = true
# Show full error reports and disable caching
config.consider_all_requests_local = true
config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
# Don't care if the mailer can't send
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
# Print deprecation notices to the Rails logger
config.active_support.deprecation = :log
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
# Only use best-standards-support built into browsers
config.action_dispatch.best_standards_support = :builtin
# Do not compress assets
config.assets.compress = false
# Expands the lines which load the assets
config.assets.debug = true
end
and
#config/environments/production.rb
Scc::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
# Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on
config.consider_all_requests_local = false
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
# Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this)
config.serve_static_assets = false
# Compress JavaScripts and CSS
config.assets.compress = true
# Don't fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed
config.assets.compile = false
# Generate digests for assets URLs
config.assets.digest = true
# Defaults to Rails.root.join("public/assets")
# config.assets.manifest = YOUR_PATH
# Specifies the header that your server uses for sending files
# config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile" # for apache
# config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect' # for nginx
# Force all access to the app over SSL, use Strict-Transport-Security, and use secure cookies.
# config.force_ssl = true
# See everything in the log (default is :info)
# config.log_level = :debug
# Use a different logger for distributed setups
# config.logger = SyslogLogger.new
# Use a different cache store in production
# config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
# Enable serving of images, stylesheets, and JavaScripts from an asset server
# config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://assets.example.com"
# Precompile additional assets (application.js, application.css, and all non-JS/CSS are already added)
# config.assets.precompile += %w( search.js )
# Disable delivery errors, bad email addresses will be ignored
# config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
# Enable threaded mode
# config.threadsafe!
# Enable locale fallbacks for I18n (makes lookups for any locale fall back to
# the I18n.default_locale when a translation can not be found)
config.i18n.fallbacks = true
# Send deprecation notices to registered listeners
config.active_support.deprecation = :notify
end
I have the following code:
.right-bar-filler{
background:url(asset_path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image)) repeat-y;
padding-top:0px;
}
In development it ends up being:
.right-bar-filler {
background: url("/assets/right_bar_filler.jpg") repeat-y;
padding-top: 0px;
}
In production it outputs as:
.right-bar-filler {
background: url(asset_path("right_bar_filler.jpg", image)) repeat-y;
padding-top: 0px;
}
What am I completely missing?
Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

This doesn't look correct:
.right-bar-filler{
background:url(asset_path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image)) repeat-y;
padding-top:0px;
}
If you want to use the asset_path helper, it needs to run inside the erb tags (<% %>)
.right-bar-filler{
background:url(<%= asset_path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image) %>) repeat-y;
padding-top:0px;
}
and make sure you name the file correctly, i.e. example_filename.css.erb
UPDATE: Sorry, I didn't notice you were using SASS, not CSS. My above answer is not what you need.
Try this instead:
.right-bar-filler{
background:url(asset-path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image)) repeat-y;
padding-top:0px;
}
I.e. I think the asset path helper uses hyphens in SASS, not underscores

Did you rake assets:precompile?
By default, Rails will not compile assets in production. The recommended workflow is to compile assets as part of your deployment.
