How does vendor/assets stylesheet find vendor/img images

Bbootstrap.css is inside vendor/assets/stylesheets/ and inside bootstrap.css, there's this line,

dropdown-submenu:focus > a > [class*=" icon-"] {
  background-image: url("../images/glyphicons-halflings-white.png");
}

However, my ruby on rails app is complaining 

GET http://localhost:3000/images/glyphicons_halflings-white.svg 404 (Not found)

How do I get it found? glyphicons_halflings-white.svg is inside vendor/assets/img

Use image-url inside your stylesheet and Rails will ensure the proper path is used. If you don't use that helper, you will have nothing but broken images in production when asset fingerprinting is employed.

In this case, the correct URL is /assets/glyphicons_halflings-white.svg. Again, though, that will not be the case in production.
