Images added onto the storefront view is not showing

[jackomcpie]

Hello, I am fairly new to ruby on rails 7 and currently experimenting with solidus and spree. However, when i tried to add images to be shown on for example the home page or about page. It does not render, but it just shows a "broken" image icon. Ubuntu terminal also showed a ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/about/about.png"):. I placed my images in the app/assets/images directory and I used the img src="about/about.png" alt='about' tag as the <%= image_tag %> doesnt work for me, it only renders as a string. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thank you.

This board is for troubleshooting issues with Solidus. It sounds like you need help with the Rails asset pipeline. You may be better off looking for help somewhere Rails-specific. For example, Rails' official forum recommends people seek help on Stack Overflow.

As you're not troubleshooting anything with Solidus, I'm going to close this, but here's a suggestion to help point you in the right direction:

It would be best if you used the image_tag helper. For example, if the file is placed at app/assets/images/about/about.png, you should render the image with <%= image_tag "/about/about.png" %>.
