I'm working on a Rails 7 application where I'm using Import Maps for JavaScript and CSS Bundling via Yarn instead of Sprockets. Despite following the setup instructions, my assets aren't being served correctly from the /builds directory.
When loading my homepage, the CSS file is not found, and I get the following error in the browser console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
Request URL: http://localhost:3000/stylesheets/application.css
The rendered HTML for the home page includes:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/application.css" media="all" data-turbo-track="reload">However, my CSS file is located at /app/assets/builds/application.css.

Ensured that
application.cssis generated in the/buildsdirectory using the following Yarn script:"scripts": { "build:css": "yarn build:css:compile && yarn build:css:prefix", "build:css:compile": "sass ./app/assets/stylesheets/application.bootstrap.scss:./app/assets/builds/application.css --no-source-map --load-path=node_modules", "build:css:prefix": "postcss ./app/assets/builds/application.css --use=autoprefixer --output=./app/assets/builds/application.css", "watch:css": "nodemon --watch ./app/assets/stylesheets/ --ext scss --exec "yarn build:css"", "build:js": "esbuild app/javascript/application.js --bundle --outfile=app/assets/builds/application.js" }
-
Added public file server configuration in
development.rb.
I need help understanding why the assets are not being served from the /builds directory and why the generated HTML still references /stylesheets/application.css instead of /builds/application.css.
Any advice or pointers to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!
