404 when including jQuery

[mcmillion]

I'm getting a 404 whenever jQuery is imported. jQuery is still successfully loaded, but the log gets polluted with a stack trace on each page load.

Any ideas? jQuery resides in provider/assets/javascripts/jquery.min.js

What does your app's manifest look like?

[mcmillion]

//= require jquery
//= require_tree .

[kdocki]

The file being loaded (in the error above) is not in your manifest file so it is probably being loaded somewhere else.

If I had to guess I'd say you have a script tag in your layouts or views that point to /assets/jquery-1.10.2.min.js

[mcmillion]

Nope. No references to the file anywhere else, and if I take //= require jquery out of the manifest, it stops appearing altogether.

The file that's being picked up is the file at provider/assets/javascripts/jquery.min.js (which is version 1.10.2), as I just added a comment to the file and it appeared in the output js file.

Additionally, if I rename the jquery.min.js to jquery-1.10.2.min.js, I get a 500. Changing the manifest's require to //= require jquery.min or //= require jquery.min.js displays the same behavior above.

[evantishuk]

Well, isn't this the jquery that comes bundled into the package itself?

RE: https://github.com/CodeSleeve/asset-pipeline/blob/master/README.md#introduction-to-directives

It seems like a genuine bug if it's throwing a routing error. I guess it doesn't like where the file is located or maybe permissions?

@tabennett the immediate workaround is to remove the //= require jquery and replace with your own jquery files. Personally, I usually rely on a CDN for jQuery (http://jquery.com/download/#jquery-39-s-cdn-provided-by-maxcdn or http://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery/) and just put it right into my layout file(s). Or you could checkout a copy of jQuery to /app/assets/javascripts/vendor/jquery do something like //= require_tree vendor in your manifest.

@kdocki What's the deal with the built-in jquery anyway?

[mcmillion]

@evantishuk That's what I've done for the time being.

Granted I don't know the internals, but it seems like it's checking multiple places or multiple filenames, as it does actually find jQuery, but it errors out on the filename it can't find.

[Braunson]

Have the same issue, since //require= jquery.min includes the jquery.min.js in provider/assets/javascripts I just created the jquery-1.10.2.min.map in that folder and left it empty, error solved for now.
