Rails Stylesheets on Heroku

Question

On my local machine, when I view my Rails App, my stylesheets are successfully linked at /assets/stylesheets/ but on Heroku, it is changed to /stylesheets/

Answer 1

Michael, I before you push to heroku try:

rake assets:precompile

This will precompile them in the public folder so that they can be served to Heroku. Let me know if that didn't work.

Also, make sure the following line exists in config/environments/production.rb

config.serve_static_assets = true

Then of course

git push heroku master

Answer 2

Instead of checking in compiled assets into Git, first read this: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ruby-support#plugin-injection-in-rails-4

You can either add this gem

gem 'rails_12factor'

or add this gem specifically

rails_serve_static_assets

or manually change the config in config/environments/production.rb

config.serve_static_assets = true
