Adding load path

[chlebta]

Expected behavior

In my application.js I'm trying to add /= require file that exist in different directory then javascript folder

Actual behavior

I get always

Sprockets::FileNotFound at /
couldn't find file 'datatables/dataTables.bootstrap' with type 'application/javascript'

System configuration

• Sprockets version : 3.6.2
• Sprockets-rails version : 3.0.4
• Ruby version : 2.3.0
• Rails version : 5.0.0.rc1

Example App

This is my application.js :
//= require datatables/dataTables.bootstrap

This is my config.ru :

# This file is used by Rack-based servers to start the application.

require_relative 'config/environment'

require 'sprockets'
map '/assets' do
  environment = Sprockets::Environment.new
  environment.append_path 'vendor/plugins/adminlte/plugins'
  run environment
end

map '/' do
  run Rails.application
end

# run Rails.application

And this is the link of folder I'm trying to add :

https://github.com/80percent/adminlte-rails/tree/master/vendor/assets/plugins/adminlte/plugins

I believe this is a non-issue.

@chlebta I created an example app here based on your description:

https://github.com/gilesbowkett/sprockets-373-example

I couldn't figure out your meaning when you said "the link of the folder I'm trying to add." definitely go ahead and fork my example and send a PR if you want to clarify that.

however, I think you won't need to.

the readme for AdminLTE, the gem you're trying to use, says that this line:

= require datatables/dataTables.bootstrap

goes in the application.css file. But your description above says that you put it in the application.js file.

So, although I was unable to reproduce your error in my example app, I think you may have just put a CSS require inside a JS file.

I made this PR but never got it over the line #322 would show you all the load paths when you get an error.

Is this still an issue? Did you get it working?
