rails 3.1.0 ActionView::Template::Error (application.css isn't precompiled)

Question

I made a basic rails app with a simple pages controller with an index function and when I load the page I get:

ActionView::Template::Error (application.css i         


        

Answer 1

For all those who are reading this but do not have problem with application.css and instead with their custom CSS classes e.g. admin.css, base.css etc.

Solution is to use as mentioned

bundle exec rake assets:precompile

And in stylesheets references just reference application.css

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>

Since assets pipeline will precompile all of your stylesheets in application.css. This also happens in development so using any other references is wrong when using assets pipeline.
