Hi Jeremy,

First of all, thank you so much for all your hard work on your open source projects!

I'm trying to use the assets from the bootstrap-sass gem with Roda's assets plugin.

So far, this is what I have:

```

plugin :assets,

css: 'app.scss',

js: [

Bootstrap.javascripts_path + '/bootstrap.js',

'app.js',

],

dependencies: {

Bootstrap.stylesheets_path + '_bootstrap.scss' => Dir[Bootstrap.stylesheets_path + '/**/*.scss'],

}

```

The app.scss asset with its @imports is served just fine. The problem is the absolute path to the bootstrap.js asset.

Here is the generated src tag:

```

```

Is there a way of using the bootstrap.js assest from the bootstrap-sass gem with the assets plugin?

Not currently. Currently, all asset files rendered by the plugin must be inside the assets folder. One simple workaround is to copy, hard link, or symlink the asset files from the gem to the asset folder. Another option is using a custom Tilt handler that will load the files from the gem.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Unfortunately, I can't use a hard link or symlink as I'm not sure where the gems are installed on my production server.

But you gave me an idea! I might be able to use an erb template which reads the gem's asset file.

P.S. It worked! Thanks again Jeremy!

Great! I've just pushed up a tilt-indirect gem that may make things easier for you: https://github.com/jeremyevans/tilt-indirect

Thanks,
