Question

I have a little image that is showing up as a dead link on heroku, but not on my local, the image files were git pushed with everything else. Whats more is I have other images that show up just fine.

the view file for broken image

        <% if report.status == 4 or report.status == 5 %>
            <img src="<%= image_path('greenlight.png') %>" id="status">
        <% elsif report.status == 2 or report.status == 3 %>
            <img src="<%= image_path('yellowlight.png') %>" id="status">
        <% elsif report.status == 1 %>
            <img src="<%= image_path('redlight.png') %>" id="status">
        <% end %>

view file for working image

    <div id="header"><header>
        <img src="<%= image_path('whfd_logo.png') %>" id="whfd">
        <img src="<%= image_path('iaff.png') %>" id="iaff">
        <span>text removed<br />
        text removed</span>
    </header></div>

view source fro broken image

        <img src="/images/yellowlight.png" id="status">

view source for working image

        <img src="/images/whfd_logo.png?1329844130" id="whfd">
        <img src="/images/iaff.png?1329844130" id="iaff">

when the image works on my local the view source looks like this

    <img src="/images/yellowlight.png?1329096113" id="status">

whats going on here? why is the number string after the image missing?

Answer 1

In the future you could run git add -A that will add AND delete any files you…well, added or deleted.
