Asset precompilation failure

[dansimpson]

I have react working locally in development by requiring react in my manifest and setting the appropriate variant in my config. When I attempt to precompile assets (even locally) I get an error:

couldn't find file 'react'
  (in /path/to/app/app/assets/javascripts/all.js:7)

I can't seem to figure it out. Any thing I can check? react-rails is loaded in the environment, as the config.react statements are in my application config.

Any advice is appreciated.

Setting the following setting to true resolved it issue:

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = true

I ran into this. It would be useful to have a note about this in the installation notes.

[neohunter]

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = true

is the default value.
