rails 4 paperclip asset_path precompiled default_url

rails4_paperclip_default_url

I was having trouble setting the default_url for paperclip attachables while using rails 4 asset pipeline fingerprints.

What was not working for some reason:

default_url: ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path('event_default.jpg')

What worked for me:

default_url: lambda { |image| ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path('event_default.jpg') }

Hope this helps someone

thanks it did!

Doesn't work for me :(

You're a lifesaver! Thanks!

Thanks!

Awesome. Thank you.

Thank you, this solved my problem where it worked in development but not in production. lambda makes a little bit of sense though not obvious.

Thank you! 👍
