asset-pipeline

We're working on a pretty big and wide application. The website will have a lot of different sections with some very different user interface requirements and behaviors. Looking into the future, Rails 4 separated the asset pipeline into a separated gem so we can choose to include it or not. The same thing might happen with turbolinks. The question I keep asking myself these days and can't find an answer is: should I use theses libraries in our project or not ? The main issues in my reflection is the fact that the all-in-one file strategy will probably not work and we'll have to use file

I have organized my javascript files in a couple of directories and I have found the following strange behavior. Given the following tree: + app + assets + javascripts + common + public + common + home - home.js home.js looks like this: //= require jquery //= require jquery_ujs //= require jquery-ui //= require_directory ../../jquery_plugins //= require_directory ../../common //= require_directory ../common //= require_self Now the trick lies in the jquery_plugins directory. I placed this inside vendor/assets/javascripts (which is included in the asset load path, when I check Rails.application

I have asked this question in the locomotivecms google groups, but haven't gotten any useful response yet. So, trying out here. I have a feeling the issue is not just a rails issue but has something to do with how the locomotivecms engine is implemented. I installed the locomotivecms app as per the instructions here - http://doc.locomotivecms.com/guides/get-started/install-engine The app runs fine in development mode. I then precompiled the assets and started it in production mode ( bundle exec unicorn_rails -E production ). Now when I open the app in the browser, the stylesheets are not

I precompiled my files in the asset pipeline after upgrading to rails 3.1 (and later to 3.2) Now (working in development mode) I have to recompile them after every change to see them appear. As this takes about one minute, development is nearly impossible. I have made the following relevant entries in config/development.rb config.cache_classes = false # Show full error reports and disable caching config.consider_all_requests_local = true config.action_controller.perform_caching = false # Do not compress assets config.assets.compress = false config.assets.compile = true # Expands the lines

Alright guys, I am a ruby noobie here, and I find myself in the unfortunate situation where I am moving a project over from Django to Ruby on Rails. First things first, I am setting up my application.html.erb file, and I cannot seem to get the javascript working. The images and css are coming through, but not the javascript. There are javascript files within the assets directory and within the application.html.erb file. Neither are coming through. All of my images, css, and javascripts are located within their respective directories in app/assets/. My application.html.erb file head tag: <
