asset_path is scss is never called

[braindeaf]

Hi, I'm trying to add in asset_url into our SCSS in our Jekyll project however

body {
  background-image: asset-url("dave.png"); 
  background-image: asset_url("dave.png"); 
 }

I'm wanted to add support for both asset_url and asset-url. But I can't even seem to get asset_url to get called. Is there something I am missing.

We are using...

@braindeaf I am facing similar issue, What was the solution you found?

[braindeaf]

Wow, this was a year ago now :S The commit on our application that I'm looking at. Happy to glance over what you have to help because this drove me crazy for a few days at the time.

gem "jekyll-assets"
# became
gem "jekyll-assets", git: "https://github.com/envygeeks/jekyll-assets", group: :jekyll_plugins

and adding

plugins:
  - jekyll-assets

then using

{% asset screen.css media='screen' %}
{% asset print.css media='print' %}
