I'm using the vanity gem to do some AB testing, but my report is all messed up. The auto-generated css and views have a width of 40em which I would like to change. Following the Vanity Documentation I ran
rails g vanity:views
which generated all the files needed, and have edited them accordingly. However, I am still not seeing the changes, and I can't figure out why rails is still using the defaults in the gem folder, and not those in the view.

I even explicitly added the custom_template in the configuration file
#config/vanity.rb
Vanity.configure do |config|
config.templates_path = 'views/vanity'
end
Other files related to Vanity:

#app/controllers/vanity_controller.rb
class VanityController < ApplicationController
include Vanity::Rails::Dashboard
layout false # exclude this if you want to use your application layout
before_action :authenticate_admin_user!
end
All views are in :
#app/views/vanity/_report.erb
etc Thanks guys, any help would be grand.
This ended up being a mistake on my behalf (surprise).
Vanity doesn't take a config/vanity.rb by default. It all needed to go in config/application.rb
Everything works fine now.
