I am new to RoR and I am following the Agile Web Development with Rails 4 book and I am to the point where we add CSS styling to the store front page (page 135 "8.1 Iteration C1: Creating the Catalog Listing").
However, I did exactly as the book stated but the CSS style is not being loaded when I load the page. I did some research and from what I understand, everything is correct. Does anyone see anything wrong or what I need to add?
I have tried everything here but nothing worked: Agile web development with rails” book: CSS not applied
UPDATE Looks like the application is using /assets/scaffold.css.scss for styling. If I go to this file a change colors, they reflect on the StoreControllers view!!?? What is wrong here??!!
I cannot figure out why the application is using the incorrect stylesheet...
BTW I also ran RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile and made sure the assets were included in public/assets/ folder
Here is my code: Depot/app/assets/stylesheets/store.css.scss
.store {
h1 {
margin:0;
padding-bottom: 0.5em;
font: 150% san-serif;
color: #226;
border-bottom: 3px dotted #77d;
}
.entry {
overflow: auto;
margin-top: 1em;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #77d;
min-hieght:100px;
img {
width: 80px;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
position: absolute;
}
h3 {
font-size: 120%;
font-family: sans-serif;
margin-left: 100px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 2px;
color: #227;
}
p,div.price_line{
margin-left: 100px;
margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.8em;
}
.price{
color: #44a;
font-weight: bold;
margin-right: 3em;
}
}
}
// Place all the styles related to the Store controller here.
// They will automatically be included in application.css.
// You can use Sass (SCSS) here: http://sass-lang.com/

This solved it for me. CSS is not loading in app
Be sure to test your CSS with something more obvious, like
color: red;
somewhere. The agile book is only aligning the text here. It could be easily missed.
