It only works if application.js is included in the source

[pjurczynski]

Context:

• precompiled assets
• the js manifest file is not named application

Result:

• It can't find handlebars.runtime
• doesn't create HandlebarsTemplates

Just to verify, have you followed: https://github.com/leshill/handlebars_assets#javascript-setup ?

[pjurczynski]

yes. I had everything setup, but my main file was called refactor.js.coffee. Then after I renamed it to application.js.coffee, everything started to work.

In development environment everything works fine in both cases. On my staging server it is not (the main difference is precompilation of assets)

I have been trying to replicate, tried rails 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1 ... still can't happen I always get this:

(function() {
  this.HandlebarsTemplates || (this.HandlebarsTemplates = {});
  this.HandlebarsTemplates["hello_world"] = Handlebars.template(function (Handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {
  this.compilerInfo = [4,'>= 1.0.0'];
helpers = this.merge(helpers, Handlebars.helpers); data = data || {};
  var buffer = "", stack1, helper, functionType="function", escapeExpression=this.escapeExpression;

  if (helper = helpers.name) { stack1 = helper.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}); }
  else { helper = (depth0 && depth0.name); stack1 = typeof helper === functionType ? helper.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}) : helper; }
  buffer += escapeExpression(stack1)
    + " is awesome.";
  return buffer;
  });
  return this.HandlebarsTemplates["hello_world"];
}).call(this);

@pjurczynski maybe you can provide more details ? rails version, gem versions ?

Wow... I'm truly sorry for making you waste the time on such an undocumented issue report. I guess nobody had encountered the same issue. I'll let myself close the issue 5 years later.

Cheers man :).
