sass-rails helpers “image-url”, “asset-url” are not working in rails 3.2.1

Question

I am on 3.2.1, with sass-rails-3.2.4 and sass-3.1.15...

The documentation for the asset pipeline says:

asset-url(\"rails.png\", image) becomes url(/a         


        

Answer 1

Despite what the documentation says, it seems the default options in rails 3.2.6 allow you to just make things work with even less path information in your CSS. E.g. ../app/assets/images/rails.png is references in your example.css.scss file with something like:

background: white url(rails.png) repeat-y;

You don't include the image-url or asset-url into your scss (as far as I know), just plain url(your_image.png). That bit of documentation appears to be just an explanation of what it is doing in the background.
