Description
I work on a project which runs rake assets:precompile
during a docker build stage, rather than at runtime. Since we don't know the URL root at buildtime, we pass in RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=..
and this successfully builds our assets and makes them available regardless of the URL root passed into the container.
However, when we upgraded sprockets-rails from 3.2.2 to 3.3.0, this no longer works as the generated path for the assets is ../../assets/foo
rather than ../assets/foo
as it was before. The result is we can access the assets when no URL root is provided, but when one is provided we can't.
I believe the logic that broke this was introduced in pull request 476. Could I request a patch 3.x.y fix for this please? I realise this may not be a supported use case, hence why I haven't seen any evidence that anyone else has hit it, but it's blocking us from updating to a later sprockets-rails version, so a fix would be much appreciated.
