RSpec Request Warning - Rails 5.1 Upgrade - Assets Missing in the Asset Pipeline
I was trying to upgrade my Rails 5.0.1 application to Rails 5.1 and came across some crash warnings. I was able to resolve everything but one.
I've searched a bit and haven't found a definitive answer.
Background
This is an application that has just been completed. I just updated my rails version to 5.1
I have an RSpec spec spec. They check the redirect to (Devise) login. This error appears in these specifications.
The controller specifications are working fine. I see this warning in BOM requests regarding css, js, images, etc.
I have dashboard.js
assets in my pipeline. And there is a file app/assets/javascripts/dashboard.coffee
.
# config/initializers/assets.rb
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w[
sites.js
sites.css
admin.js
admin.css
header.js
dashboard.js
dashboard.css
setup.js
setup.css
]
Warning
Here is the warning I see.

What i tried
- pre-compiling assets manually didn't solve
I appreciate any advice on how to resolve this warning.
I think the asset pipeline has been bypassed for specs.
You need to add dashboard.js
to the file assets.rb
to find out rails that it needs to be precompiled.
#/config/initializers/assets.rb
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( dashboard.js )
Add this line, actually you just need to uncomment it and add the filename.
I had the same problem after I updated Rails to 5.1
I am assuming you store some of your assets in a folder ./public
You can move your assets from ./public
to folder ./app/assets
. Or just add a parameter skip_pipeline: true
like:
image_url("body-bg.gif", skip_pipeline: true)
