Question

So, I’m on Win XP (Macs are expensive, alright?) and I found this link which made my life SO much easier. I changed my path from:

C:\Documents and Settings\DevAdmin\rails_projects\arcwmi_reports>

to

R:\arcwmi_reports>

So much nicer!

But, when I went to create a new project and I added @import "bootstrap" to my custom.css.scss file, I suddenly got this error on my site:

Showing R:/arcwmi_reports/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #5 raised: 
different prefix: "C:/" and "R:/arcwmi_reports/app/assets/stylesheets"
(in R:/arcwmi_reports/app/assets/stylesheets/custom.css.scss)

Here’s line #5:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", media: "all" %>

I know this line is the problem because if I comment it out, or the @import "bootstrap" then my stuff works fine.

One of those lines of code is trying to use the old prefix. I don’t know which.

What is going on here?!??!

Thanks -Chip

Answer 1

So the issue is that I started my rails server on the R:\ substitute and for some reason the stylesheet_link_tag conflicted with the server request.

As soon as I shut down the server and re-started it using the full path, the page loads fine.

I don’t know why this creates such a conflict, but it seems the server catches the error and won’t load the page.

This is a rubber duck moment, I guess.
