Sprockets 4 has a new way of handling which files to compile, which requires a bit of setup.
Add a file app/assets/config/manifest.js
with this content:
//= link_tree ../images
//= link application.css
//= link application.js
This will work with a standard setup, but you might need more links if you have a differen setup.
You can now remove any additions to config.assets.precompile
you may have.
