Rails 4 images not loading on heroku
heroku, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Another issue, I was having with this was that I was precompiling my assets locally, prior to loading it to heroku. This requires you to follow a different set of steps, which can be found below. If you precompile your assets locally, you must follow these steps or any updates you made to your assets folder will not be reflected in prod.

`RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile`
`commit` and `push` to server.
Problem
I have spent the better part of the day trying to get images to load on my heroku app. Everything I try works locally, but not after being deployed to heroku. I have png files saved in the images folder under my assets. I am referencing these images with syntax in my css such as; ``` #signin { background: url(<%= asset_path 'sf.png' %>); background-size: 100%; } ``` In heroku when I inspect the background the assets/sf.png link is there but when you click it it shows a broken image, suggesting it did not load properly. I've tried toggling `config.serve_static_assets = false` in the `production.rb` file between true and false and neither works. I also have ``` group :production do gem 'pg' gem 'rails_12factor' end ``` Precompile is always successful. Rails 4. Any ideas on what else to try?
