Assets missing after deploying on heroku

Question

I'm new to RoR and after deploying I lose my assets. I tried pre-compiling assets locally, restarting the production server, deleting the app and reinstalling it again. None of these seemed to help. It works on development servers just fine.

Answer 1

They're not missing. It's likely that you're not using the rails_12factor gem in the production group in your Gemfile :

group :production do
  gem 'rails_12factor'
end

As mentioned in the Getting Started with Rails 4 article on Heroku's Dev Center .

Install that gem + deploy your app, and your assets should be there.

Answer 2

Please try this :

config/environments/production.rb

config.serve_static_assets = true
