Windows --> Linux = KaBoom :-|

Hello guys,

We developed in windows and deployed on Linux server. Most of our
partials started behaving indecently.
Our coding <%= render :partial => ‘./shared/footer’ %>
Deployment works with <%= render :partial => ‘/shared/footer’ %>

We have images in folders public/images/flags and public/images/
twitter
which we used to access image_tag("./twitter/twitter.png"
Now in deployment image_tag("./twitter/twitter.png" of course does not
work but also image_tag("/twitter/twitter.png" doesnt work.

Does any one know about this?

How about <%= render :partial => ‘shared/footer’ %>

If the images are in public/images/twitter them
image_tag(“twitter/twitter.png”) should work. If not have a look at
the html source in the browser and see where it is pointing.

ain’t the problem the . you’re using in the path?
In Linux the . points to the root directory of he user, and not
nescecarly
to the root of the tree you’re in.

I could be mistaken though.

I know which one I’ll pick :slight_smile:

<%= image_tag(‘rails.png’)

Uh, well, since you mentioned it, yes, you are :slight_smile:

In any case, it’s trivial to test what the image_tag does with these
various references:

<%= image_tag("images/rails.png") %>

<%= image_tag(“/images/rails.png”) %>

<%= image_tag(“./images/rails.png”) %>

True, that works with resources in RAILS_ROOT/public/images, but
it’s important to understand how the image_tag references paths, to
e.g. an alternate location like RAILS_ROOT/public/photos.

Which would be problematic with the OP’s confusion… :slight_smile:
