Templates are not included in JS when precompiling

[foxyblocks]

Same problem here

[pitr]

It's very likely to be a config.assets.precompile setting. Add this to application.rb:

config.assets.precompile += [
  '*.html',
  '*/*.html'
]

[foxyblocks]

@pitr I tried this and it just copied them over to public/assets/templates as .html.haml files

[pitr]

can you try requiring a specific template? For example, if you have a app/assets/templates/some/file.html, add //= require some/file to application.js.

[foxyblocks]

rake aborted!
./templates/roadmap_choices.html is 'text/html', not 'application/javascript'

I also tried it without the file extension and it couldn't find the file.

Try changing config.assets.version in config/environments (or config/application.rb). That will force sprockets to invalidate it's cache and rebuild all assets.

(undo changes to config.assets.precompile and your javascript manifest)

I just tested it against a new 3.2.16 app. Everything seems to work without any configuration. I can publish it if people are interested -- but all I did was rails new, add the gem to the Gemfile, and create a template in app/assets/javascripts/templates/plain.html.

Could you share your Gemfile.lock file?

I created a git repo of my test app: https://github.com/whitehat101/art-rails-3.2.16-test

Same problem here, any template .html file is just ignored and is not injected in the application.js

[pitr]

@divins can you create a dummy app that exhibits this issue. Neither I nor @whitehat101 were able to replicate.

Hi guys!

I had similar problem to this, what @elyngved described. After long debugging session, I discovered, the app needs to be initialised on precompiling... be aware of that. Otherwise, the angular-rails-templates initialiser isn't called, and this isn't registered:

app.assets.register_engine '.html', AngularRailsTemplates::Template

Cheers

@simon2k +1 Thanks

[diegodurs]

Same problem here. I tried the above solution but none worked.
I also get the feeling that AngularRailsTemplates is not initialize. I cannot see any trace of it.
By the way I'm using .html.slim templates.
Any suggestion on how to debug? @simon2k

[hpetru]

I solved this problem using:

# config/application.rb
# ....................
    config.before_initialize do |app|
      require 'sprockets'
      require 'angular-rails-templates'

      Sprockets::Engines #force autoloading
      Sprockets.register_engine '.html', AngularRailsTemplates::Template
    end

@diegodurs Try this:

# config/application.rb
# ......
    config.before_initialize do |app|
      require 'sprockets'
      require 'tilt'
      require 'angular-rails-templates'

      mimeless_slim = Class.new(Tilt[:slim]) do
        def self.default_mime_type
          nil
        end
      end

      Sprockets::Engines #force autoloading
      Sprockets.register_engine '.slim', mimeless_slim
      Sprockets.register_engine '.html', AngularRailsTemplates::Template
    end

Hey! Thanks for all the snooping!

Could someone summarize this for me? I'd like to make changes and annotate why they are needed. I wasn't able to actually reproduce this issue.

I think I read...

• Rails 3.2 works if initialize_on_precompile is true
• Otherwise, Rails 3.2 needs ART to be run in before_initialize (like it was a few patch versions back) instead of regular initializer.
• Does app.assets.register_engine also need to be replaced with direct calls to Sprockets.register_engine?

We made the switch from before_initialize to initializer because the slim-rails gem (not to be confused with the slim gem) was mangling some of our configuration.

I'm experiencing this issue too. And fix from @hpetru doesn't work for me. I'm using *.html.haml and with fix from @hpetru raw HAML is served and not compiled HTML.

I fixed this with downgrading angular-rails-template to version 0.1.2.

Any updates on how to solve this issue?
