Question

I’m trying to add a background-image in a ‘css.scss’ file. I keep getting this error:

Invalid CSS after “…und-image: url(“: expected “)”, was “<%= asset_path(…”
(in /Users/caseyrees/Projects/citycreek/app/assets/stylesheets/custom.css.scss)

This is how I am writing it:

background-image: url( <%= asset_path 'home/facebook.png' %>);

If I change the file extension to ‘css.erb’ it seems to work. I need this to work with the .scss file extension.

Answer 1

You dont want to write assert_path, try this, (from one of my working css.scss files)

background: url(image_path('footer_bg.jpg')) repeat-x center top;

and my footer_bg.jpg image is in app/asset/images
