Question about Spree assets:precompile js & css for vendor and lib dir

[Tom]

I'm currently using spree 0.70.3 and Rails 3.1.3, and got questions
about assets precompiles process for vendor dir.

I have specific js and css files in:
../vendor/assets/javascripts/jquery.fileupload-ui.js
../vendor/assets/stylesheets/jquery.fileupload-ui.css

After reading this doc,
http://guides.spreecommerce.com/asset_customization.html

it says "Javascript & stylesheet files in lib/assets or vendor/assets
sub-directories should be manually
required in the appropriate all.(js|css) manifests."

I follow the direction and add it here:
=======> xyz-app/app/assets/javascripts/admin/all.js
//= require admin/spree_core
//= require admin/spree_auth
//= require admin/spree_api
//= require admin/spree_dash
//= require admin/spree_promo

//= require_tree .

//= require jquery.fileupload-ui

=======> xyz-app/app/assets/javascripts/admin/all.css
/*
*= require admin/spree_core
*= require admin/spree_auth
*= require admin/spree_api
*= require admin/spree_promo
*= require admin/spree_dash
*= require_self
*= require_tree .

*= require jquery.fileupload-ui
*/
=====================

a) First i clear the ../public/assets & tmp/cache/...
rake assets:clean:all RAILS_ENV=development RAILS_GROUPS=assets

b) Then i ran this cmd below and i assume it will populated to my ../
public/assets/..
bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=development
RAILS_ASSETS_NONDIGEST=true

Question: Why the jquery.fileupload-ui.css and jquery.fileupload-
ui.js not being added to
my xyz-app/public/assets/.... at all?

Thanks for your help :- )

Hi Thomas,

By adding the require into the all.js / all.css this will copy the contents of jqueru.fileupload-ui  into the compiled all.js/css file. 

In order to have that file precompiled standalone, you need to add a pattern to match as follows (in application.rb)

config.assets.precompile += ['jquery.fileupload-ui.*']

You can see a the patterns that Spree specifically sets here:

HTH,
