Hi all,
In Foreman i see the images and scss files in ~foreman/app/assets/images
and /stylesheets however the live website seems to be looking in
~/foreman/public/assets
Can anyone shed some light on where Foreman is looking for its style and
images and how it compiles them into the public/assets folder to be viewed
in real time?
Thanks for your help,
app/assets/ contains the source/original files, and to run the app in
the production Rails environment with public/assets/, they're compiled
using the rake assets:precompile task. This combines, compresses and
minifies the source files.
If you're using our packages, this is done at build time and the
generated files in public/assets/ are shipped inside the package. If
you're running from source, you will run rake assets:precompile manually.
It's technically possible to re-run the precompilation on a package
installation if you install foreman-assets to get the dependencies, but
I'd not recommend it as it'll overwrite, delete and otherwise mess with
packaged files.

If you're on a source installation then "bundle install" without
excluding the assets group should install all of these dependencies. A
package installation provides them through the foreman-assets package.
