I haven't been able to suss out a reason yet - but I have two servers that refuse to build the packages on demand. Rake tasks for creating them work just fine. Have any ideas on debugging them?

If you have a js file that's rendered through a controller, or use the js_named_routes(http://github.com/jsierles/js_named_routes ) plugin, there doesn't seem to be a way to get them packaged.

Perhaps instead of opening files, it could call for the resources the regular way (through a url) then build them from there. That way it would work for absolutely any method of serving resources.

Hi,

I am new to Rails and my question may be very trivial.

I have asset_packager plugin installed in my app. I installed JasonKing's inline_attachment plugin for sending out emails with inline images. But when I try to send a email I am getting a error message (undefined method 'request') and this error seems to happen in 'compute_public_path' in asset_package_helper class of asset_packager plugin and it is working fine when asset packager is uninstalled.

Is there any workaround for this? Please let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Sivakumar.

I'm compulsively organized—organized to a fault, some might say—and I was trying to organize my JavaScript files according to the section of the site they pertain to:

javascripts
javascripts/application.js
javascripts/section1/base.js
javascripts/section2/base.js
etc.

but they don't seem to be loading at all with the configuration I have set up:

---
javascripts:
- section1:
  - application
  - section1/base

Is there any support for nested assets on the horizon? Or does such a thing already exist and I'm a complete moron?

Any help or just a general reply would be great!

I really like your tool and it works great with the default rails cache busting approach of adding a timestamp after ?. However when you use with the amazon CDN the ?timestamp part of the URL is not taken into account.

It would be great if the asset packager could help busting the CDN cache without requiring additional steps to the current workflow. One approach would be to:
1. save the build timestamp into a configuration file, asset_manager_auto.yml
2. create a file with a timestamped name
3. in production when generating the link automatically append the timestamp, for example base_1562827.css, base_1562827.js

I can help with the implementation once we reach a consensus on an approach that works...

I'm using jquery plugins. Each is a separate folder in my javascript directory. These folders contain css files and images that are referred to from the css files.
When asset_packager combined these files the path to the images is not adapted to find the images in their original folder. An example:
Part of my .yml file:
- ../javascripts/tools/styles

Given the following files
javascript/tools/styles.css => in this file a reference to url(tooltip.png) refers to the following file:
javascript/tools/tooltip.png

After packaging the image reference hasn't changed and the image can't be found.

Can this be accomplished?

Thanks
