javascript_pack_tag seems to add path twice with asset host

[wjdhamilton]

Since upgrading to 1.2 javascript_pack_tag no longer seems to render the correct url.

I am using an asset host, specified in production.rb.

In previous versions, themanifest.json file copiled for production looked something like this:

{
  "admin.js" : "/packs/admin-s089sdf098.js"
}

But now it explicitly includes the asset host path, rendering something like this:

{
  "admin.js": "jiu8a9d8f9.cloudfront.net/packs/admin-s089sdf098.js"
}

The effect of this is that the javascript_pack_tag helper renders the path twice as follows:

https://jiu8a9d8f9.cloudfront.net/javascripts/jiu8a9d8f9.cloudfront.net/packs/admin-s089sdf098.js

Which doesn't work.

Note that "javascripts" has made it into the link too, which I think is incorrect.

I have run webpacker:install as part of the upgrade process, but perhaps I have missed something else.

Any ideas would be welcome!

I can confirm that moving back to webpacker 1.1 fixes the issue, so it looks like some kind of regression in 1.2.

Thanks very much for all you efforts in making this work btw!

It seems related to #224
