I am trying to use the rails 3.1 asset pipeline to include a javascript file from the manifest file’s parent directory

app/assets/javascripts/folder/index.js

//=require ../file

yields: couldn't find file 'file'

How do I require a file from the parent directory?

    Assets in Sprockets are always referenced by their logical path.

    So you just have to use //=require file if your file is in /app/assets/javascripts.

    If your file was /lib/assets/javascripts/models/lala.js for instance, you would require it with //=require models/lala.
