Loading images from assets/images in rails 4 app

I have a js.erb file that makes reference to a sprites file which i have stored under app/assets/images

js.erb file

this.image.src = "<%= image_path('sprites.png') %>";

I have added the following to my config/environment/development.rb file

config.assets.compile = true

and ran 

rake assets:precompile

I am still getting a 404 bad request error when trying to load the image. Please help this is taking way longer than it should.

I think config.assets.compile = true is in production.rb

and NO need to add in development.rb

But if you want to debug assets in development. You might change this line:

config.assets.debug = true // default is false

Additional Info:

image_path("sprites.png")
# => "/assets/sprites.png"

image_url("sprites.png")
# => "http://www.example.com/assets/sprites.png"

To make sure you run the precompile in Development

rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=development
