为什么image_tag无法在网站上显示图片

Question

I'm working in Cloud 9, trying to display an image using the image_tag and I'm getting this placeholder symbol that Chrome can't find my image. I uploaded the image from my computer to assets/images/logos/light_blue.png .

I don't understand why the image doesn't show up. The code I use is:

<%= image_tag ("light_blue.png") %>

A screenshot of the code

The result in the browser

The same thing happens with a JPG.

Answer 1

Rails is searching for your image in the directory ./assets and not in ./assets/images/logos/light_blue.png .

If you change the path, it will work, if the image is in that folder.

<%= image_tag ('images/logos/light_blue.png') %>

The documentation gives you a few more examples.
