Hi All!
Another problem. I am using Rails 5.0.0.beta3 with a minor javascript
file (115 lines). I have encountered the following problem several
times in the past two days. In both earlier cases, I ended up returning
to the master branch and starting over (there were very few changes in
those two branches, I hadn't gotten very far). Now I have it very close
to being finished and I can't seem to get it to work like it was a few
minutes ago. Unfortunately, I have not committed my changes frequently
enough (dumb, I know) so I will have to start over again. (I can copy
the edited files out of the git tree, create a new branch and copy them
back, but I would like to get to the bottom of this weirdness before I do),
I am working in *development* mode. I can edit and test the .js.erb
file in assets with no problems for hours on end. Most of the time I
don't even have to restart the server (usually when I edit routes.rb).
Suddenly, it gives me an error message about needing to *pre-compile*
the js file in *production* mode by editing a config file and
restarting. Without changing the config (as it recommends) when I
restart the app it no longer loads the javascript file, and none of the
routines in it execute anymore. It also ignores any edits that I make
to that file. In one of the earlier cases I did edit the config file as
it requested, but that did nothing to solve the problem.
I don't have any idea what I might have changed to cause this. I looked
at the git status and I have only changed/created four files:
1) The layout file that originally had the js code (was moved to the
newly created js.erb file)
2) The controller file
3) The routes.rb file, and
4) The newly created js.erb file.
The last edit was to correct a typo in the js.erb file.
The program works (loads the js from the layout file and does everything
that is already coded) when I switch back to the master branch, but as
soon as I go to the working branch, the problem comes back.
The rails log seems to show it loading pre-compiled scripts after it
breaks, while before it seems to be getting files from the assets
directory. (Not sure about this).
I tried both Firefox and Chrome and both show the same behavior (not
surprising).
I double checked that RAILS_ENV=development and it is. This has been
setup for years and only changes when I explicitly set it to production
(rarely). It returns to development whenever I login.
Where should I start looking for this problem?
Thanks,
Don
