@kvokka What version of Rails are you using?

[kvokka]

4.2.6

[Ihor912]

Not working for Rails 4.2.6 too

[hirokishirai]

@kvokka @Igor912 I create a test rails app and install normalize-rails on it. Then, there is no problem. Probably, You have to use normalize-rails is version 4.1.1.

• rails: 4.2.6
• ruby: 2.3.0

mkdir test-normalize-rails
cd test-normalize-rails
bundle init
vi Gemfile

- # gem 'rails'
+ gem 'rails', '4.2.6'

bundle install --path vendor/bundle
bundle exec rails new . --skip-bundle
vi Gemfile

+ gem 'normalize-rails'

bundle install # In the second and subsequent bundle install, path specification is not required
vi app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

/*

+  *= require normalize-rails
 *= require_tree .
 *= require_self
 */

bundle exec rails g scaffold post
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rails s

and access to http://localhost:3000/posts and view html source. I can find normalize-rails.css.

  <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/assets/normalize-rails.self-e371c0b120d201389605cb66fa000b511c1fbb27c7ff41142a66fbb0b6165292.css?body=1" data-turbolinks-track="true" />

I'm seeing this, only in production environment so @hirokishirai's example doesn't apply. Development environment works fine. Anyone know what is going on here?

[mttdffy]

Out of seemingly nowhere we are seeing this error today. We're seeing locally and in our CI builds.

Rails 5.1.3

Anyone ever figure out what was going on?

Hi @mttdffy, given it's just one file, I ended up just using the asset pipeline to include it in my project like one would any other local CSS file. Probably easier than trying to figure out this error :)
