Rails 5 can't display image outside /app/assets/images directory

<%= image_tag("/public/pool_2.jpg") %>

it found the image, but there is no picture

I checked the assets.paths in rails console, and it does include "/public" directory in the assets.paths

rails c

Rails.application.assets.paths

...

vice/home_service/public", ...

No, I didn't move my carrierwave uploads to /public for some reason. I also changed in /config/application.rb

config.public_file_server.enabled = true

and I doubled checked the value of config.public_file_server.enabled on rails console. But Rails 5 still doesn't like to display static images like /public/image.png.

So I just sub the "/app/assets/images" part out, then it works. Now the image is displayed. Here is my hack:

<% @image_src = @profile.avatar.url(:thumb).sub(/\/app\/assets\/images\//, "")  %>
<%= image_tag @image_src %>
<%#= image_tag @profile.avatar.url(:thumb) %>

I would recommend placing the image in /public/assets/images in order to mirror the structure of app/assets, for consistency's sake.

In your view, you could then use:

<%= image_tag '/assets/images/pool_2.jpg' %>

Also, be sure that config.public_file_server.enabled is set to true in config/application.rb.

You should review the How to Use the Asset Pipeline section of the Asset Pipeline docs.
