Unbind from Rails

[inossidabile]

Am I getting it wrong, @thedeeno, or 4 months ago you removed every possible way of integration with raw Sprockets::Environment? Are there are any reasons for that?

[thedeeno]

Hmm, I didn't explicitly intend to prevent direct integration. What's your use case?

[inossidabile]

I have instance of Sprockets. Now I need to add path to hamlcoffee vendored asset. But I have no way to do that since you removed the method that was returning the path to the gem's vendor directory location.

[thedeeno]

Can you explain more about the need to work at this raw level? Is there something preventing you from just including hamlcoffee via a require directive in one of your assets? The gem's asset should already be in the load path.

//= require hamlcoffee

[inossidabile]

Can you link the line that adds it to the load path? Cause it's not and as far as I see from sources it should not.

[thedeeno]

Are you using this outside of rails? This is a rails engine, so rails will include this gem's vendor/assets/javascripts/ in the load path. There's not need to explicitly require it in Rails.

[inossidabile]

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm using it with raw sprockets. No Rails. By removing that assets_path helper you automatically dropped support for Sinatra, Jekyll and all custom builders. Resurrect it please.

Here's something that should ensure you are getting me right: https://github.com/netzpirat/haml-coffee-sinatra/blob/master/app.rb#L13

Thanks @inossidabile for bringing this up. I've reverted the commit in question and released version 1.13.1 that contains the helper API again. Sorry for any inconvenience, I should have known why I've added this :)
