render_svg() doesn't work on Heroku

i used:

render_svg "icons/question", styles: "..."

which worked locally. then in production (Heroku):

<svg>
  <!-- SVG file not found: 'icons/question.svg' -->
</svg>

changed to:

image_tag "icons/question.svg"

which works OK.

Oh interesting, I'll have to check this out and see what's causing that. Working fine when deploying to Hatchbox so I assumed Heroku would do fine. It just reads the file off disk so I can't think of a reason why it couldn't find it off the top of my head.

This is fixed! The inline_svg gem we're using changed how it worked and was only looking in Webpacker for images, which we're not doing. The latest version fixed the problem.

bundle update inline_svg

aha, thanks!
