jquery/javascripts not loading in ruby on rails

Question

I am having a very weird problem that just came up and my guess it's that it may be easy to solve, I just can't seem to figure out.

in my layout/application.html.haml, I have the following:

= javascript_include_tag :all

Rather than RoR translating this to a lot of script-loading lines, it does the following:

<script src="/beta/assets/all.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

similarly, with defaults I get:

<script src="/beta/assets/defaults.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

What should I look for? or what I am missing?

Thanks!

if you're using the asset pipeline you should add

<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>

and in your application.js add your required js files

Hi @Andrei S, Thanks for the reply, I do have a line like that and my application.js has the following: //= require jquery//= require jquery-ui//= require jquery_ujs//= require announcements//= require twitter/bootstrap////= require_tree . Which includes all of the files I want to load, but I don't see them been loaded in my html source. Ultimately my tabs from bootstrap don't work anymore, but they used to work fine before :s Do you have any idea?

The :all option in Rails 3.1 is deprecated.

Instead, you should do something like:

<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>

And in your application.js add the js file you want to load. require_tree . will add all the js file in the same directory with application.js.

//= require jquery //= require jquery_ujs //= require jquery-ui //= require_tree .

Hi @xdazz, Now I get it...I did upgrade to 3.2 and it broke from there. However, I did try to do this method and it didn't work. most likely, the problem lies somewhere else. — Marco A, CommentedMar 29, 2012 at 5:30
