rails environments issue with assets compiled and uncompiled

Question

I'm hoping this is super simple, cause it's very basic. using the assets pipline got a css in sub sub folder, exampla

vendor->stylsheets->foo->bar->style.css

in this style.css I got the following

background-image:url("../../Template/img/k.png")

this works when assets and resources are not compiled (development)

but not on production.. on production the ../ needs to be removed.

how do I make it work in any situation?

@jibiel is right: for this to work with the asset pipeline it all needs to move under `app/assets`. If you want to keep vendor assets separate, put them all under `app/assets/vendor` and then in `application.rb` add the path to the search paths: `config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "vendor")` — Ross Allen, Dec 26 '12 at 18:38

Eventually I moved the css file to the root folder of my assets/styleshit, and it worked.

Try to move your image to app/assets/images directory and replace your line with following:

background-image: image-url('k.png')

Or if you'd like to keep your folder hierachy, assuming your image is in the app/assets/images/Template/img/:

background-image: image-url('Template/img/k.png')

More about -url and -path helpers that sass-rails provides.

The problem is withing the css file... not the image dir – Chen Kinnrot Dec 26 '12 at 15:20
Ok. You can keep your hierarchy within `app/assets/images` directory. Just specify it to `image-url` helper. `image-url('Template/img/k.png')` like so. – jibiel Dec 26 '12 at 15:24
Your solution didn't work, cause the css couldn't be parsed as saas, – Chen Kinnrot Dec 29 '12 at 14:19
