Rails 4: assets not loading in production

Question

I\'m trying to put my app into production and image and css asset paths aren\'t working.

Here\'s what I\'m currently doing:

• Image assets live in /app/a

Answer 1

it is not recommended to let capistrano do assets precompile, because it may take ages and often time out. try to do local assets precompile.

1st, set in config/application.rb config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false then do local RAILS_ENV=production bin/rake assets:precompile and add those public/assets to git.

and config/environments/development.rb, change your asset path to avoid using precompiled assets:

config.assets.prefix = '/dev-assets'

If you have db connection issue, means u have initializer that uses db. one way around it is to set a new environment by duplicate production.rb as maybe production2.rb, and in database.yml, add production2 environment with development db setting. then do

RAILS_ENV=production2 bin/rake assets:precompile

if you are still facing some issue with assets, for example ckeditor, add the js file into config/initializers/assets.rb

Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( ckeditor.js )
