Hello all,

I seem to be running into an issue where jquery seems to be working fine in my development environment but when I load it to my production environment it does not work. There are some menus that I am trying to hide when the web page loads but when they page loads they are there in plain site. When I launch firebug and run the same code in console it works without any issue so I have wonder if there is a different way I need to precompile the assets to get everything to load?

Here is what my environment is like:

Rails Version: 3.2.3
Ruby Version: 1.9.3 (RVM)

Gemfile
...
gem 'jquery-rails', '~> 2.0.1'
...

app/assets/javascripts/application.js
....
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree .

app/assets/javascripts/custom.js
$(function(){
    $('#roles_menu').hide();
    $('#issues_menu').hide();
    $('#features_menu').hide();
    $('#roles_menu_link').click(
        function(){
            if($('#roles_menu').is(':hidden')){
                $('#roles_menu').slideDown('slow');
                // $('#roles_menu_link').html("<a href='#' id='roles_menu_link'>hide roles menu</a>");
            } else{
                $('#roles_menu').slideUp('slow');
                // $('#roles_menu_link').html("<a href='#' id='roles_menu_link'>show roles menu</a>");
            }
        });
       
    $('#issues_menu_link').click(
        function(){
            if($('#issues_menu').is(':hidden')){
                $('#issues_menu').slideDown('slow');
                // $('#issues_menu_link').html("<a href='#' id='issues_menu_link'>hide issues menu</a>");
            } else{
                $('#issues_menu').slideUp('slow');
                // $('#issues_menu_link').html("<a href='#' id='issues_menu_link'>show issues menu</a>");
            }
        });
   
        $('#features_menu_link').click(
            function(){
                if($('#features_menu').is(':hidden')){
                    $('#features_menu').slideDown('slow');
                    // $('#features_menu_link').html("<a href='#' id='features_menu_link'>hide features menu</a>");
                } else{
                    $('#features_menu').slideUp('slow');
                    // $('#features_menu_link').html("<a href='#' id='features_menu_link'>show features menu</a>");
                }
            });
});

UPDATE: interestingly enough I ran `rake assets:precompile` and I didn't get any errors prior to submitting this topic. I decided to run rake `assets:precompile:all` and I hit an error:

rake aborted!
couldn't find file 'jquery'

To make sure I ran rake `assets:precompile` again to see if I wouldn't get any errors and I again hit another error but it is different from the error I got above:

rake aborted!
Invalid CSS after "     background:url(": expected expression (e.g. fr, 2n+1), was "<%= asset_path ..."
 
I though the jquery-rails gem was supposed to load jquery for me. Is it that I don't need to include jquery and jquery_ujs in my application.js file?

UPDATE 2: Changing my css file to css.erb fixed my css error but I am now back to my jquery error.  I have confirmed that when I run `rake assets:precompile` I do not get an error about jquery but when I run `rake assets:precompile:all` I get an error about jquery. What would make it so that one complains the other does not? and also do I need to include jquery and jquery_ujs if I am using the jquery-rails gem?

 Val, 

Your Gemfile looks good to me and so does your application.js. 

Are you using bundle exec rake to precompile? Can you post the error message you get about jquery?

Thanks for the response Ylan. I just now tried `bundle exec rake assets:precompile:all` and I am getting the same error about jquery.  The error I am getting is:

Val, 

The error you are getting means that, when running the rake task the jquery gem is not available. There are a few ways this can happen: Did you add the jquery gem only in the development group? In the asset group? Did you remember to run bundle install after adding the gem? What bundler groups are available in which environments (look into your application.rb file). 

If answering the above questions doesn't lead you to find the problem, post back your complete Gemfile and we will go from there.

jquery rails is in the assets group of my gemfile
 
Did you remember to run bundle install after adding the gem?

Yes I did run bundle install after adding the gym.
 
What bundler groups are available in which environments (look into your application.rb file). 

I am not sure I am looking in the right place in my application.rb file but here is what I saw at the top of the file:

if defined?(Bundler)
  # If you precompile assets before deploying to production, use this line
  Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)))
  # If you want your assets lazily compiled in production, use this line
  # Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env)
end

If answering the above questions doesn't lead you to find the problem, post back your complete Gemfile and we will go from there.

Here is what my gemfile looks like:

I don't see any obvious errors there, and I am assuming that you already checked line 13 of application.js for correctness. At this point, I am out of ideas on where the problem is. If I where you, I would start a blank rails application in which you *can* precompile the assets. Then starts looking for potential differences between the brand new app and yours.

Sorry, I can't be of more help.

So I did end up resolving this issue. There were 2 issues.

1. jquery-rails doesn't like being in the assets block of my Gemfile. Once I took it out of that block I was able to compile in production without any error. I happened to be passing through railscast and saw that one of Ryan Bates examples had that particular line under the assets block.

2. I had an error in one of my .js files so removed the file and everything seems to be working as expected. I will see if I can figure out what is going on with that .js file at a later date.

Thanks for the help in trying to get me to solve this issue.
