Gem in an engine #19

Open Svashta opened 9 years ago

Svashta commented 9 years ago

Hi,

i am trying to use this gem inside an egine in my application. How can i use it as it seems it is always searching inside root app paths, not my engine paths.

Is there any way to tell where it starts searching from?

Svashta commented 9 years ago

I've managed to change prefix_path via custom initializer, which is OK, but styles and javascripts are not loaded as expected. If i look at themes_on_rails_example and how the stylesheet_link_tag is generated it is a little bit different. In examples it goes to /assets/theme/all In my case it is /stylesheets/theme/all - which can't be found.

Any ideas?

Figured out the problem is in engine.rb initializers which also have paths defined. I am now currently overriding them in my engine, but feels fugly. Is there a more elegant way to do it? Maybe to extend the gem to allow passing in an option for default path?

Adding additional engine complicates things even more. Paths in gem are partially hardcoded which makes stuff non usable.

I have tried to overwrite paths in second engine, too, but either first engine or second engine paths work. The funny thing is i can see paths in views search on error, but something goes wrong non the less.

I would really appreaciate some tips on how i could use the gem with mountable engines and modular way.
