Problem with 0.9.4 and rake precompile

[AgtLucas]

Howdy guys,

I'm struggling with rake assets:precompile using requirejs-rails 0.9.4, but with 0.9.3 version everything works fine.

My setup:

OS X 10.9.4
Ruby version: 2.1.2p95
Rails version: 4.1.6 (was 4.1.4 until yesterday)

# config/requirejs.yml
waitSeconds: 5

paths:
  delta: 'delta'
  application: 'application'

  jquery: 'jquery/jquery'
  jquery_ujs: 'jquery_ujs'
  turbolinks: 'turbolinks'

shim:

  jquery:
    exports: 'jquery'
  jquery_ujs:
    deps: ['jquery']

modules:
  - name: 'application'
wrap: true

Error's log:

Also, I've forked this Gem and updated RequireJS version to the last one (2.1.15), but the problem persist. I really wanna use the last version of this Gem instead of 0.9.3 version.

Could this be a problem with RequireJS?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

@AgtLucas Could you puts the logical asset being looked up? FYI, that's one of the lines in your backtrace. Once you've identified the failing asset, would you mind creating a Rails test app that I can clone?

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr Sorry dude, but I do not understand what do you mean with puts the logical asset being looked up. :confused: Could you explain a little more for me?

I'll provide the repo so you can clone it. :)

Thanks!

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas I meant edit the file linked to. You'll be able to see it in your backtrace. Add a puts line before it and print out the logical path being looked up.

Also try clearing your tmp directory.

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr Ok!

So, first of all, I've cleaned tmp but no joy.

But here's the odd thing: I guess the problem it's with some asset, I'm using Rails Assets in this project, but I'm not using in this demo project, which work well with 0.9.4.

So, adding a puts in that line and then ran rake I was able to see the ScrollReveal.js on the terminal. So, I've removed rails-assets-scrollReveal.js from Gemfile, run bundle update and then shot the rake command, now I was able to see which I guess it's jQuery library, not quite sure because I can't scroll too much the logs...

Almost there, I guess...

Thanks!

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr

Found it!

I've removed everything about Rails Assets and 0.9.4 works as a charm.

But now, how can I use 0.9.4 with Rails Assets? Should I stick with 0.9.3?

Thanks!

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas Could you insert a puts here and tell me what the local variable pathname is (for the failing rails-asset-created asset, of course)?

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas Also, I doubt that rails-assets is the problem here. You can install all the rails-assets-prefixed gems you want, and it shouldn't affect compilation. Am I wrong about this? Can you isolate the problem to just whether the Gemfile contains rails-assets-your_gem_name?

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr I guess that rails-assets is really the problem, because I've removed all the assets installed through Rails Assets and 0.9.4 works very well.

I'll try what you've said about Sprockets.

Thanks!

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas Just to be clear, it's the mere inclusion of one of rails-asset's autogenerated gems in the Gemfile that causes the problem?

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr Yep and whatever the Gem.

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas That's strange, because I read rails-assets's source code. The Rails engine portion of autogenerated gems are blank, and that means there aren't strange manipulations. I also tried installing Angular.js as an autogenerated gem, and precompilation went fine.

Do add that puts to Sprockets when you get a chance. You'll be able to see it print out the pathname that it supposedly think exists (but doesn't, causing the mtime on NilClass problem).

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr That's really strange! :worried: Are you using Rails 4.1.6 too?

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas I'd also recommend updating Sprockets to 2.12.2.

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr Ahhhhh, when I read that, I really tought that will solve the problem, but no joy, unfortunately. :confused:

Here's the test app: https://github.com/agtlucas/soloh

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas Could you get your soloh example project to fail? That would go a long ways towards solving your issue.

[carsomyr]

@AgtLucas I've found the problem, and it's on your side. If you provide a bower.json file in the retreat-hell gem, it should point to a valid CSS file. As it turns out, hell.css doesn't exist. I'm closing this issue for now. Let me know if it's something else.

[AgtLucas]

@carsomyr Ah, shame of me, now it's working! :)

Thank you so much!
