Question

I have a super simple engine for loading some vendored assets: https://github.com/febuiles/strap_on

I include it in my application’s Gemfile like this: gem "strap_on".

In my application.css file I have: *= require twitter_bootstrap.

I start the application and I get couldn't find file 'twitter_bootstrap'.

I’ve notice that the path for the engine is not in Rails.application.config.assets.paths. Any idea of what I might be doing wrong here?

Answer 1

In your gemspec file – it doesnt look like you include files from the vendor directory, guessing that is your main issue, check asset path after adding and reinstalling – if you look in your gem repository now, i am guessing the files in vendor are not included

Also i would move twitter_bootstrap.js into the twiiter_bootstrap directory and rename it index.js, not sure if this is required or not (you will need to update paths in that file also)
