CSS in Rails Asset Path not processed by ERB in development

Question

I have a Rails app with the following in /app/assets/stylesheets/styles.css.erb:

...
#nestedbg {
    background-position: left top;
    backgrou         


        

Answer 1

Bizarrely, I found that changing asset_path to asset_data_uri and then back to asset_path worked for me. Was using Rails 3.1.3 all along.

Strange.
