Relative paths base in Sprockets directives

[glebm]

Sprockets directives in a partial are not processed relative to that partial.

E.g., if _glyphicons.scss partial begins with:

//= depend_on "../../fonts/bootstrap/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot"

However, this does not work: Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor runs with app/assets/application.scss, instead of the partial where the directive appears.

Does this seem like a bug? Is there a way to depend_on a file using relative path?

My initial thought was to add a pre-processor replacing all the relative depends_on(-asset) paths in partials. Unfortunately, Sprockets directive processing API is not public.

Background: I would like bootstrap-sass to work on Rails 4.1 without altering load path (useful when one uses a Bower package and not the gem). Everything works except this depend_on raises a FileNotFound exception. Update: Resolved in sprockets-rails 2.1.4, by no longer requiring depend_on in this case.

@rafaelfranca any help with this one?

For what I remember sass-rails (or sass) doesn't work well with relative paths. Unfortunately I don't have time to investigate this issue so I recommend you to try to understand what is going on
