Rails 4 / Chrome / Heroku Favicon Issue

Vote count:

I can't seem to get a favicon to show up on my site when using Chrome. Locally, the favicon works fine but after pushing to Heroku somehow it loads Google's favicon.

Firefox displays the correct icon in both cases.

My head tag has this line:

<%= favicon_link_tag 'favicon.ico' %>

Which produces this on localhost:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/images/favicon.ico">

And on Heroku:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/assets/favicon-7b525a3805f8dcadf5aae8526d1417e8.ico">

My icon is stored at /app/assets/images/favicon.ico. I've deleted the default /public/favicon.ico.

My versions:

• Rails: 5.0.0.alpha (but happens on 4 as well)


• Chrome: 40.0.2214.94 (64-bit)


• Firefox: 35.0.1


• Heroku: cedar-14 stack

I've looked at other similar questions and none of the solutions help. I'm guessing this has something to do with asset compilation. Has anyone experienced this?
