Rails javascript asset missing after precompile
assets, file, javascript, pipeline, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Actually two things needed to do:
config.assets.precompile += %w( *.js *.css )
as described here, and
config.serve_static_assets = true
for local production testing when using
rail s
of course using
rake assets:precompile
however in my case - without config.assets.precompile this would have no effect since the manifest didn't contain any reference to my javascript file.
HTH.
Problem
the Rails Guides says: If there are missing precompiled files in production you will get an Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper::AssetPaths::AssetNotPrecompiledError exception indicating the name of the missing file(s). I do execute: ``` bundle exec rake assets:precompile ``` however I don't get any error, and my javascript file is missing in the manifest.yml. Also it's not appearing in public/assets, so the problem is only on production. I have in the application.js ``` //= require formalize/jquery-formalize ``` What am I missing? Thanks.
