@johnres: I tried your branch, but icons are still not showing, so at least it's not working for me (I am just starting out with the asset pipeline, so its very possible I am doing something wrong).

With the 1.0.1 release gem the error I see in the log is:

Started GET "/css3buttons/icons.png" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-10-27 09:17:33 -0700

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/css3buttons/icons.png"):

Hmm, it's working here, is this how your Gemfile looks?

gem 'css3buttons', :git => 'git://github.com/johnrees/css3buttons_rails_helpers.git'

This asset pipeline is giving me a headache!

I tried:

gem 'css3buttons', :git => 'git://github.com/johnrees/css3buttons_rails_helpers.git',

and

gem 'css3buttons', :git => 'git://github.com/johnrees/css3buttons_rails_helpers.git', :branch => 'patch-1'

And still get no icons. I can see in the log that the asset is being compiled again:

Started GET "/assets/admin/admin.css" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-10-27 09:30:04 -0700
Compiled admin/admin.css  (9ms)  (pid 79880)
Served asset /admin/admin.css - 200 OK (30ms)

However, the generated css (which includes the css3buttons css) does not correctly reference the image:

.button.icon:before {
    content: "";
    position: relative; 
    top: 1px; 
    float:left;
    width: 12px; 
    height: 12px; 
    margin: 0 0.75em 0 -0.25em; 
    background: url(/css3buttons/icons.png) 0 99px no-repeat;
}

I appreciate your help in getting this working.

Thanks,

Are any of your assets precompiled? Try running

rm -rf public/assets/*.css

Then look at

/assets/css3buttons/styles.css?body=1

and see if it has changed

background: url(/css3buttons/icons.png) 0 99px no-repeat;

to

background: url(/assets/css3buttons/icons.png) 0 99px no-repeat;

---

A nasty interim solution/hack would be to write

.button.icon:before { background-image:  url(/assets/css3buttons/icons.png) !important; }

in your application.css

You'll grow to love the asset pipeline eventually!

So…

No dice. I had already removed the pre-compiled assets and it's still not working, even though I see form the rails output that the style is being compiled:

Started GET "/assets/css3buttons/styles.css?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-10-27 10:04:03 -0700
Compiled css3buttons/styles.css  (7ms)  (pid 81535)
Served asset /css3buttons/styles.css - 200 OK (18ms)

The suggested hack does works for now, but I can't figure out what could be causing this problem in my environment.

John, I still haven't found a solution to my particular problem, but I found a workaround that I like better:

I forked and instead of using asset_path, I am using asset_data_uri to embed the image in the stylesheet itself (which works fine for my purposes since all user's have modern browsers).

[leflings]

using
gem 'css3buttons', :git => 'git://github.com/johnrees/css3buttons_rails_helpers.git'
and afterwards clearing out tmp/cache/ and tmp/sass-cache/ solved the problem for me. Icons are showing again

[monfresh]

@leflings: thanks! That worked for me too.

Hi Nic,
I get installed Rails 3.1.0 but your gem seems not work.
When I hit the "rails g css3buttons" this is the output: "Could not find generator css3buttons."

Thanks for your work!

[johnrees]

With Rails 3.1 you don't need run a generator because of the asset pipeline.

Please refer to 'Getting started - Rails 3.1' in the readme.md
