Putting JQuery into application.js causes remote forms to submit twice

[DVG]

I ran into an interesting problem where I had a remote form:

#index.html.erb#quick_reply
<%= simple_form_for [@discussion, @post], :remote => true do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :body, :input_html => {:class => 'span12 short_text_area' } %>
  <%= f.submit 'Post Reply', :class => 'btn-primary' %>
<% end %>

And when the form submitted, it was processed twice. I ended up fixing by removing

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs

from my application.js file. This is in exact opposition with what this gem's documentation says, but it seems that I'm getting the JQuery scripts without having them in the manifest file. Does the doc need updated or is there something else going on here?

Do you have a //= require_tree or //= require_directory elsewhere in your manifest file?

Hmm yes, I have a require_tree . at the bottom. Is that the issue? I haven't manually added anything, but twitter bootstrap might have put it there

[JangoSteve]

I think require_tree is requiring the jquery and jquery_ujs files, which is why if you add those lines, you're actually requiring it twice.

Figured it out. I had forgotten I ran assets:precompile in dev once, so everything was getting served from public/assets and app/assets. My bad.
