I'll add another issue to this. It appears that if the path is of the form vendor\bundle\ruby\1.9.1\gems\jw_player_helper-0.0.1\assets\javascripts (that is, the append looks like this:) Rails.application.config.assets.paths << (Rails.root.join("app", "vendor","bundle","ruby","1.9.1","gems","jw_player_helper-0.0.1","assets", "javascripts")).to_s that the asset manager (sprockets?) won't find c:\RailsInstaller\Sites\ultradedup002\vendor\bundle\ruby\1.9.1\gems\jw_player_helper-0.0.1\assets\javascripts\swfobject.js when you do a - javascript_include_tag('swfobject.js') in your view. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
