Does Evil Blocks works fine in development?

[nleo]

Yes

[ai]

Maybe you have some hacks?

You you disable initializers in assets:precompile by config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false?

[nleo]

Yes, it's the problem. I reread documentaion, it's says "Heroku requires this to be false."

I use heroku, so I should to keep evil-blocks.js in vendor, right?

[ai]

Hm. We need somehow add js to Pipeline paths without initializer :(. https://github.com/ai/evil-blocks/blob/master/lib/evil-blocks-rails.rb#L17

I will think about it. For now you can just copy js to vendor.

[ai]

I found some hacks solution for this initialize_on_precompile bug, but they will be very bad for code climate.

Because Rails 3 is outdated and current Rails 4 has no initialize_on_precompile I think to will not fix this issue. Hack with vendor/evil-blocks.js will be fine for Heroku Rails 3 users.

I add note about this hack 0428032
