I have been trying to fix this problem for almost days now.
I am trying to run my ruby on rails site in production mode, but (some of) the assets cannot be served. The images are located in a custom subfolder ( app/assets/audio/testfolder/demo.png ) which is added to Rails.application.config.assets.paths
and precompiled properly but I am always getting the error
ActionView::Template::Error (The asset "demo.png" is not present in the asset pipeline.)
or to be more specific:

The image can be accessed by localhost:81/assets/demo-57cec01fc3b0b102085dc4de14576f8fd86f8298aed121ce17245df0546276d4.png directly, so the webserver (caddy) does not seem to be the problem.
I hosted a simple demo project on github ( https://github.com/Kafkalasch/RailsAssetsErrorDemo ) to reproduce the problem easily.
Just clone the project, precompile the assets
rails assets:precompile
, start the caddy server with the given Caddyfile,
caddy -conf Caddyfile
and start puma with config/puma.production.rb
puma -C RubyDemo/config/puma.production.rb
I am using: ruby 2.4.1 puma 3.10.0 rails 5.1.4 caddy 0.10.6
I could reproduce this problem on Debian and Mac OS X, so I don't assume that the OS is relevant.
I want to use my webserver to serve static files, so I am looking for an other solution than simply setting
config.assets.compile = true
Does anyone have an idea or any hint how I could solve my problem?
I am grateful for any response.
