Sprockets not able to load css and js files

[sivagollapalli]

Hi

I am using rails(4.2). I included js and css files as per documentation. But sprockets not able to find css and js files. When I changed file inclusion to following lines then it's start working.

# app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss
 require dataTables/jquery.dataTables.bootstrap3

# app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables
//= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables.bootstrap3

Would there be a mistake in documentation or am I doing anything wrong?

Hi @sivagollapalli ,

Please, post the Gemfile.
The way are you using it is outdated.

Take look at correct path: https://github.com/rweng/jquery-datatables-rails/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/dataTables/bootstrap/3

Please, use like:

gem 'jquery-datatables-rails', '~> 3.2.0'

You can download the last gem at https://rubygems.org/gems/jquery-datatables-rails and rename the file .gem to .tar and extract it, to see the files and paths.

@ricardodovalle Thanks it works for me. I think we need to update this in documentation. Shall I make a PR with this change?
