Question

I have an image in app/assets/images

How do I reference this in a view in my development environment?

=image_tag 'image.png'

looks for the image in public/assets. I’m guessing that the image will get copied from app/assets/images to public/assets once the app is deployed. What am I missing here? I’d appreciate any help.

Update

I’m wondering why

=image_tag 'image.png' doesn’t correctly route to the image in app/assets/images with rails in development mode. The image renders as missing.

Answer 1

This issue solved itself somehow. Sprockets now correctly routes to the image in app/assets/images
