I would like to require a javascript file that itself requires other javascript files:
In main.js
//= require plugins
... Shared Code
In plugins.js
//= require vendor/handlebars-1.0.rc.1.js
//= require vendor/jquery.animate-colors-min.js
//= require vendor/spin.min.js
However although sprockets adds the contents of plugins.js to main.js, it doesn't seem to evaluate the requires within it, so they are included as comments in the compiled main.js rather than it pulling in the js files and including them.
In the compiled main.js
//= require vendor/handlebars-1.0.rc.1.js
//= require vendor/jquery.animate-colors-min.js
//= require vendor/spin.min.js
...Shared Code
If I add these requires into main.js rather than plugins.js, they are propprly required and their contents is included in the compiled main.js
So why isn't sprockets evaluating the includes in plugins.js?
You should place your //= directives at the top of plugins.js

In application.js I have the following line:
//= require pivottable/dist/pivot.js
However, I want to require all .js files in pivottable/dist. I tried something like:
//= require pivottable/dist/*.js
or this:
//= require pivottable/dist/*
But to no avail. How do I require all js files in a given directory in my application.js?
My grails application is using jquery-ui and twitter bootstrap plugin. I use the default application.js structure. Then I add the following line to include the jquery-ui and bootstrap.js :
...
//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require bootstrap
...
The bootstrap.js in loaded properly, but the jquery-ui.js is not included.
I had to use the following settings (for these versions):
grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy
compile ":asset-pipeline:1.9.9"
runtime ":jquery:1.11.1"
runtime ":jquery-ui:1.10.3"
grails-app/assets/javascripts/foobar.js
//= require jquery
//= require js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom
grails-app/assets/stylesheets/foobar.css
/*
*= require themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom
*/
Assuming that you are using the jquery-ui grails plugin, it is not included, because the current version has no directive file under grails-app/assets/jquery-ui. Instead it uses the web-app directory, to put the javascript files in the subfolder jquery-ui/js as you see in the sources.
In order to get jquery-ui working you have to put the following line in your directive file:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui/js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min
//= require bootstrap
In bootstrap it works out of the box, because they use a directive file under grails-app/assets/javascript as you see here.
this line also worked for me :
//= require jquery-ui/js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min
config.rb:
ready do
sprockets.append_path File.join root, 'bower_components'
end
application.coffee:
//= require 'dimple'
//= require 'director'
When I access to or build a js file which is served by Middleman + Sprockets, some modules installed through Bower return a not-found error. jQuery etc works normally.
Apparently some Bower modules are not Sprockets compatible. I needed to set a full path while jQuery requires only its name.
//= require 'jquery'
//= require 'dimple/dist/dimple.v2.0.0.js'
//= require 'director/build/director.js'
//= require 'spinjs/spin.js'
(I'm new both to Rails and SO, so excuse if I'm not doing it right)
I am trying to adapt a regular third-party web template in my rails 4 application. I have a vendor folder with other files and subfolders like bootstrap.js, Nivo-slider and Isotope which contain both .css and .js files.
So I moved all files and subfolders to vendor/assets and included //= require_tree ../../../vendor/assets/ in my application.js, as recommended here. So my application.js looks like
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree ../../../vendor/assets/
//= require_tree .
And in my layout file:
<%=stylesheet_link_tag "application.css" -%>
<%=javascript_include_tag "application" -%>
when I execute it on my server I get Sprockets::FileOutsidePaths exception:
Showing /home/valle/RoR/grifo/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #25 raised:

I thought Sprockets would take all js or css files in all assets folders, precompile, unify and minify them, but now it seems I need to specify the path. How could I solve it?
Besides, is it a problem not to have separated javascript and css folders in vendors?
in rails 4 they have removed vendor folder,so,assets will not server from vendor.
in that Rails.application.config.assets.paths not contains vendor,if you want you have to add the path like
in config/application.rb
config.assets.paths << "#{Rails.root}/vendor/assets"
Update application.js file as
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require turbolinks
//= require_tree .
//= require otherJsFiles
And in application.css file require other css file as
*= require otherCssFiles
Require each js and css file in application.js and application.css file placed in vendor/assets.
I have vendor.js file in my rails project containing several vendor libraries altogether and after adding some new libraries I'm facing into this problem in development environment

Trying to remove some libraries fixes the issue and precompiled assets works fine. But I want to make it work in development. Help me please.

UPD:
I've set cache_store in every environment explicitly (developemnt.rb, production.rb and test.rb) and this fixed the issue until I opened Google Chrome for which the issue raised again. As a result, in FF everything works fine and Chrome fails to load vendor.js (the same server instance (thin) and in the same time for both browsers)
log for ff request:

You may consider to apply index.js technique , as described in this Rails guide (2.1.2). Try to split your big file and include the parts in a manifest file , for example:
In your /app/vendor/assets/javascripts you create a new directory my_libraries and place parts in it . Then in the same directory you create index.js manifest file and include files as normal:
//= require file1
//= require file2
and in your application.js :
//= require my_libraries
EDIT: One solution would be : in your /vendor/ext (the correct path is app/vendor/assets/javascripts/ext, if you have a path like /vendor/ext it will not be clear it is meant to be managed as asset dir , and also it will not be clear what asset you include - js or css) to create index.js with content:
//= require_tree .
and in application.js :
//= require ext
and then you should remove all the references to vendor dir from your application.js manifest . Another mistake is including files in your manifest with .js prefix. In the manifest file you should state inclusions without prefix.
Take a look at the asset-pipeline's documentation explaining the require_tree usage.
