inline_svg gem is currently broken to work with Sprockets 3 and the Rails application environment set to production. So this has broken administrate as well. Normally a fix should be implemented in broken gem but after looking at why administrate requires inline_svg gem I realize that it is easy to replace it with a helper method.
ApplicationHelper#svg_tag method was added to substitute the work of inline_svg. This method creates a svg tag that will look like:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><use
xlink:href="http://localhost:3000/assets/administrate/search-360c782d91a21edd53f5754c3fd8f8984ec5d9b36389f6df1fe618a4e50405b6.svg#search" width="16" height="16"></use></svg>This will allow to resize the svg image and to use css to change properties like color.
But there are a couple of differences with inline_svg. First the svg file
should have an id property, for my previous example it is search.
The second difference is that use tag needs to have height and width
properties set as attributes of the tag, css properties will not affect the svg
size.
ApplicationHelper#svg_tag used to generate html shown above looks like:
<%= svg_tag "administrate/search.svg",
svg_id: "search", width: "16", height: "16" %>This solution will play nice with Sprockets and with modern browsers.
