When I deploy a phoenix app to Heroku, the paths of static assets in the html are missing the digest. So instead of src="js/admin-62123d5990c2dec10fc43f27f068113c.js" I just get a plain src="js/admin.js" for MyRoutes.static_path(@conn, "/js/admin.js")
When I run the app locally with MIX_ENV=prod mix phx.server the paths are correct. So I assume it has something to do with using releases for deployment.
I use these buildpacks (in this order):
- https://buildpack-registry.s3.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/hashnuke/elixir.tgz
- GitHub - gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static: A Heroku buildpack for building Phoenix's static assets
- GitHub - chrismcg/heroku-buildpack-elixir-mix-release: A Heroku buildpack for use with Elixir 1.9+ releases
I can see in the build logs that the digest is working. I can also see the digested assets in the file system and I can access them via http. But the darn paths are not correct. The file cache_manifest.json is also generated and I set it in my endpoint configuration in prod.exs
config :my_app, MyAppWeb.Endpoint,
http: [:inet6, port: String.to_integer(System.get_env("PORT") || "4000")],
url: [host: host, port: String.to_integer(System.get_env("URL_PORT") || "80")],
# be aware that if using mix ```release``` statics will be served from
# _build/prod/rel/kurabu_app/lib/kurabu_app-0.1.0/priv/static
static_url: [host: host, port: String.to_integer(System.get_env("URL_PORT") || "80")],
cache_static_manifest: "priv/static/cache_manifest.json",
secret_key_base: secret_key_base,
server: true,
check_origin: false
I am not sure what the reason is and how to proceed from here. I am thankful for any hints to point me in the right direction.
