Solution

  • I can see some images, but for posterity & to give you an idea as to what the problem may be, I thought I'd better write this answer to help you run images on Heroku

    Dynamic CSS

    CSS-based images change when you pre-compile them & deploy to Heroku. Rails uses asset fingerprinting to link the dependent asset files to the asset itself. This means you have to ensure your css has dynamic image paths, rather than static ones, and the way to do this is to use SCSS

    SCSS allows you to dynamically insert values into the asset pipeline, thus allowing you to serve images dynamically. Here's how it works:

    #app/assets/application.css
background-image: url('background.png'); /* --> Renders static asset every time */

#app/assets/application.css.scss
background-image: image_path('background.png'); /* --> dynamically renders the fingerprinted path */

    I appreciate it's not a direct fix for you, but I hope it shows a way to fix the problem
