I am almost done with upgrading my Rails3 app to Rails5; But I am facing a problem with assets pipelining and precompiling. We're using cdn as asset host.Now, What happens is that when I set config.assets.precompile to false in staging environment, the app doesn't load images from js.jsx files. At other places, the app is fetching the static assets (js,css,images) from the asset_host link that I've provided. But in some specific javascript files, The images is being pointed out to my app's domain like app.my_domain.com/assets/my_image.png,And it is giving 404 not found error. In javascript, the code is something like

return ( <img src="/assets/my_image.png"></img> )

Since this is a js file, I cannot use asset_path helper method here. How to resolve this issue ?

PS: setting config.assets.precompile to true loads the image from app.my_domain.com/assets/my_image.png, but that's not what I want because of this. config.assets.compile=true in Rails production, why not?

Any help with this is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I found an answer after some research. I changed the name of the file to js.jsx.erb and accordingly used asset_path helper method which rails provide.

return ( <img src = "asset_path 'my_image.png'"/> ) It works.
