Menu
My application has a controller that uses a different layout called "special":
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
layout "special"
...
end
So I've created a new layouts/special.html.erb:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "special" %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
I also created a new corresponding stylesheets/special.css
The problem is when I try to access the page with the "special" layout I'm getting an exception:
Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper::AssetPaths::AssetNotPrecompiledError in Sessions#new
special.css isn't precompiled
I've already executed bundle exec rake assets:precompile, but it didn't fix the problem.
What's wrong? How do you associate a stylesheet to a layout in rails?

By default, Rails only precompiles your application.css and application.js files (or their .scss, .less or .coffee equivalents).
If you want an additional file to be precompiled, you must add it to the precompile array on your config/environments/production.rb, like this:
config.assets.precompile += %w( special.css )
See: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html#precompiling-assets

Just a slight modification from the accepted answer - the docs suggest adding the precompiled assets in config/initializers/assets.rb. This makes sense so that they are available in all environments without having to repeat the config set up for each. So I created that file and added the fully qualified config attribute:
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( special.css )
