Question

I am not sure the best way to explain this one, I have installed Rails 3.1beta with Ruby 1.9.2 on Windows 7, created a new app with these routes:

constraints :subdomain => 'admin' do

scope :module => "admin" do

  #resources :undo_items do
    #post 'undo', :on => :member
  #end

  #resources :projects, :domains, :emails, :databases, :admins, :services do
  resources :projects do
  end

  #match "projects" => "projects#index"
  #match "domains" => "domains#index"

  root :to => "projects#index"
end

end

# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
# just remember to delete public/index.html.
root :to => 'admin/projects#index'

One example of the sass is:

div {

        h1 { width: 177px; height: 54px; 
             background: url("summit-logo.png") no-repeat;
             float:left; position: relative; top: 15px; 

             a { text-indent: -9999px; display: block; 
                 width: 100%; height: 100%; }

        }

When the route is requested:

Started GET "/assets/summit-logo.png" FOR 127.0.0.1 at 2011-05-23 09:26:12 +0100

[Sprockets] /summit-logo.png 9a3c3...rest of unique request... fresh

The image is under app/assets/images/summit-logo.png

Any ideas as to why Sprockets seems to find it but it is not being displayed?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This is a bug in Sprockes

The reason for this is that in Windows Sprockets reads the images in text mode which results in all kinds of corruptions. In almost all cases it results in sending less bytes than declared in the Content-length header. In Firefox you can actually see that the page is still loading for about 30 seconds. That’s the time the browser waits for the missing bytes.

It seems that this will be resolved soon: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/1207
