How do I make an image with Sinatra and haml?

Question

I'm a Sinatra/Ruby n00b. How do I make Ruby recognize my own image paths?

In my haml file, I have this line:

  %img{:src => "/img/logo.png"}

But when I open the page I get a 404 error:

http://localhost:4567/img/logo.png Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Yes I did, the home directory has index.rb which is where that line of code in the question comes from, then in that same directory is img, and img has logo.png — Micah Rothenbuhler, Dec 25 '15 at 08:12
It's likely that you didn't configure root of your app. Take a look here: http://www.sinatrarb.com/configuration.html — Sergio Tulentsev, Dec 25 '15 at 08:13

The default folder Sinatra looks into for static assetes is the public folder.

In your projects root directory create a directory called public. Inside of that create your img/logo.png path.

my_sinatra_project/app.rb  # example of file where your sinatra routes are defined
my_sinatra_project/public/img/logo.png  # where to put your static assets
