middleman

middleman use sprocket for building. Is compatible this gem with middleman?

[jwhitley]

No, because until very recently Sprockets had no native build system to integrate with. The Rails Asset Pipeline build code is part of Rails, not part of Sprockets.

Correction: requirejs-rails will put require.js and order.js on the asset pipeline Javascript path; that may work with Middleman + Sprockets, depending on how Middleman configures Sprockets. It's worth giving a try. As I mentioned, the build rake task won't be useful.

[francescoagati]

i will try with a repository test.
Thanks

@francescoagati I've been looking over Middleman, and would be curious to know how requirejs-rails works with it. I'm considering Middleman and some other tools for static site generation, and so may end up wanting good RequireJS support in Middleman myself.

Just wondering if anything ever came of this. I'm curious to see this come through!

I just tried to install requirejs-rails in my latest Middleman project but it failed on requirements:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "rack":
  In Gemfile:
    requirejs-rails (>= 0) ruby depends on
      rack (~> 1.4.5) ruby

    middleman (~> 3.1.4) ruby depends on
      rack (1.5.2)

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "activesupport":
  In Gemfile:
    requirejs-rails (>= 0) ruby depends on
      activesupport (= 3.1.1) ruby

    middleman (~> 3.1.4) ruby depends on
      activesupport (3.2.14)
