Ruby on Rails favicon not loading -

this <% favicon_link_tag '/favicon.ico' %> in head section of application.html.erb file within layouts folder.

my favicon stored in assets, , not rendering in browser tab.

any thought why happening? doing wrong here?

thanks.

you should @ output rails sending browser. you'll find no mention of favicon, you're not outputting anything.

favicon_link_tag plain old ruby function. returns value, string, containing html markup link tag favicon. you're taking value, , throwing away.

you need output value, , in erb, <%=, not <%.

replace <% favicon_link_tag ... %> <%= favicon_link_tag ... %> , you'll find have <link rel="shortcut icon" ... /> appearing in html beingness output rails app.

ruby-on-rails ruby erb favicon
