Answer 1

I tried many solutions too but i found an invaluable solution and explanation 1. Heroku looks for assets in the public folder and that means you have to pre-compile your assets but if you were like me someone looking for a way to precompile my assets when my development environment is set to gem sqlite and production set to pg then you would do this.

in your production.rb

config.serve_static_assets = true

if you do not have gem pg installed you need to comment it out and change your production environment to use gem sqlite and run this

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

when all assets have been precompiled, switch back to your default settings and git add .,commit, and push to heroku
