Image asset not present in the asset pipeline

Question

The situation is one where there is no issue in Development, but in Production ( with assets pre-compiled ) an image is not found in the asset pipeline.

I feel like I'm missing something subtle, but after reading documentation and searching on this site I cannot pin point the reason for the issue.

snippet from .html.erb view file:

<div class="media-left">
   <figure class="image is-256x256">
      <%= image_tag('95090365.jpeg') %>
   </figure>
 </div>

The precompiled image is in /public/assets :-

95090365-8976ee2cb59e500cd649fb288749282959ada00f93955c319300e4d85779d687.jpg

When I try to load the relevant view, I get a 500 error on the page, and see this in log/production.log :

I noticed on some other questions and answers, that people have set

config.assets.compile = true

to fix this error, but I see in the Rails documentation that is isnt recommended for Production

This mode uses more memory, performs more poorly than the default, and is not recommended" - https://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html

I've tried the image_tag with the jpeg suffix and without, and same issue with both.

Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks!, yes, I noticed it just after I posted the question, and just got it working as you posted. I knew it would be something subtle, ( and silly ). — twenty20

 <%= image_tag('95090365.jpeg') %>

needed to change to

 <%= image_tag('95090365.jpg') %>
