asset_path in scss file rails

Question

I am having issues with asset_path in production. Rails 3.1.1

#config/environments/development.rb
Scc::Application.configure do
  # Settings specified here w         


        

Answer 1

Did you rake assets:precompile? By default, Rails will not compile assets in production. The recommended workflow is to compile assets as part of your deployment.

Answer 2

This doesn't look correct:

.right-bar-filler{
    background:url(asset_path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image)) repeat-y;
    padding-top:0px;
}

If you want to use the asset_path helper, it needs to run inside the erb tags (<% %>)

.right-bar-filler{
    background:url(<%= asset_path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image) %>) repeat-y;
    padding-top:0px;
}

and make sure you name the file correctly, i.e. example_filename.css.erb

UPDATE: Sorry, I didn't notice you were using SASS, not CSS. My above answer is not what you need.

Try this instead:

.right-bar-filler{
    background:url(asset-path('right_bar_filler.jpg', image)) repeat-y;
    padding-top:0px;
}

I.e. I think the asset path helper uses hyphens in SASS, not underscores
