Ruby on Rails

I just went through a similar problem with displaying an image in a PDF generated from the gem prawn.

I even included the path helpers ` include ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper` but that didn't work with asset_path or asset_url. It just didn't didn't work. There must be some hidden magic in the asset_path that sets the uuid between the image name and .type.
From the root url you can get an image with server.com/assets/assets/my-logo-b70c4bbdfd69ea9db2785922c48b8ec1f03c5d8b6bf2be843ee570199cd51743.jpg, but you don't know the precompiled name. Even if you did, it would break in development. Prawn or coffee script does not know about environments.
I finally found a solution, not fond of it, but it works. Prawn has an image method that requires a path and options. I just fell back to the path based on rails.root
image(Rails.root.join('app/assets/images/my_logo.jpg'),width:100 )
never tried to serve an image from coffee script and not sure the hack I found would work. You are basically ignoring the asset pipeline

I hope someone can help me with an assets problem. I have had to
rebuild a production server and images are no longer getting served.
Unfortunately the working system is no more so I can't compare what I
have with what used to work in order to help diagnose the problem.
I am using Rails 4.2 with nginx on an Ubuntu 16.04 server with
capistrano to deploy it and I have not changed the application (which
is git controlled). However it is now running on a later version of
Ubuntu so the tools there have been updated, including nginx.
The problem is that image assets are not being served, the javascript
and css are working. I can see (on the server) that the assets have
been precompiled and I can see in public/assets image files such as
blue_pin-<digest>.png where <digest> is a big long number.
However in the browser console I can see it attempt to fetch
/assets/blue_pin.png without the digest, and this fails.
The code in the app that references the image is in coffescript and is a line
@marker_icon_blue = new OpenLayers.Icon('/assets/blue_pin.png', size, offset);
I used to know how all this is supposed to work, but I have been away
from Rails for a while and the brain cells seem to have atrophied
rather, and perusing the docs has failed to re-invigorate them
sufficiently, so if someone could suggest what might be going on I
would be very grateful.
