Assets are missing when using GitHub as gem source

[manuelmeurer]

I just tried to load the Avo gem from my own fork on GitHub:

gem "avo", github: "manuelmeurer/avo"

The problem is that the assets (avo.base.css and avo.base.js) are missing:

Before I dive deeper into trying to fix this - has anybody had this problem before? 😀

Probably the same issue as described in CONTRIBUTING.md, but how can I fix it in this case?

Hi @manuelmeurer,

The steps provided in the CONTRIBUTING.md should solve the issue. Have you tried those, and does the issue still persist?

[manuelmeurer]

I can't run those steps, since I don't have the gem in a local folder, I want to load it in my Gemfile from GitHub.

Got it, that's documented here: https://docs.avohq.io/3.0/installation.html#install-from-github

Let me know how it goes

[manuelmeurer]

Ah yes, that's exactly it, thanks! 🙏

I added a condition that checks if a Git source is used, so when I switch back to the released gem, it won't build the Avo assets unnecessarily:

if Gem.loaded_specs.fetch("avo").source.is_a?(Bundler::Source::Git)
  Rake::Task["assets:precompile"].enhance do
    Rake::Task["avo:build-assets"].execute
  end
end
