Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper::AssetPaths::AssetNotPrecompiledError in app using engine, nginx, passenger

Question

I have an application which uses an engine (included by Gemfile gem my_engine, path=> '../my_engine'). It works nice with rails server. I decided to move it to nginx with passenger, but I get an error.

Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper::AssetPaths::AssetNotPrecompiledError

auth_engine.css isn't precompiled

Extracted source (around line #1):

1: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "auth_engine" %>
2: 
3: <div class="form">
4:   <% flash.each do |key, value| %>

auth_engine.css is located in my_engine/app/assets/stylesheets

How to fix this?

Answer 1

It looks like you're just linking to that one stylesheet separately instead of just letting rails roll into application.css. In that case, you should just move it to the public/assets/stylesheets folder to use it without compiling it.
