Application.css not updating in production with heroku

My application.css is not changing when I push to heroku.

rake assets:precompile # does some things
git add-commit -m "..."
git push heroku master

Application.css:

*
*= require foundation_and_overrides
* required other files
*/

body {
 background: red
}

Production env:

config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.digest = true

Nothing works, my background is white even if it's set to red. How does the pipeline works with heroku and rails 5, please?

You need to run bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production or it will use your development environment config settings for precompiliation. Also, to force that the fingerprint digest changes I want you to add a comment at the very top of your application.css file so it looks like this:

/assets/stylesheets/application.css
/* Adding a comment to force a new digest and expire cached assets in browsers */

Also, make sure to include the heroku gem for serving assets in your gemfile:

gem 'rails_12factor', group: :production

Also, as a sidenote, you're asking for major performance decreases when setting config.assets.compile = true

You should make sure to find any missing assets and fix the assets paths before deploying to production and keeping the assets.compile=false
