Rails 3.2 including vendor 3rd party javascripts

Question

I have a file called hammer.js within my vendor folder i would like to keep my 3rd party js in vendor/assets/javascripts and all home made stuff in app/assets/javascripts.

But when precompiling my assets rails won't fetch my assets from vendor. within my manifest file i have specified //= require vendor that didn't work so i tried //= require hammer and i tried //= require hammer.js from what i read these solutions seemed to work for some other people. But its not loading it at all

Note: I do bundle exec rake assets:precompile each time and the check public assets and i render the page and look at the loaded resources each time i try alternative.

EDIT:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery.ui.all
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree ../../../vendor/assets/javascripts
//= require_tree .

so i tried this. but its still not loading

within the config/environments/production.rb i have the following

# Code is not reloaded between requests
config.cache_classes = true

# Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on
config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

# Disable Rails's static asset server (Apache or nginx will already do this)
config.serve_static_assets = false

# Compress JavaScripts and CSS
config.assets.compress = true

# Don't fallback to assets pipeline if a precompiled asset is missed
config.assets.compile = false

# Generate digests for assets URLs
config.assets.digest = true

sorry this would be the first time i have set up js in rails.

Answer 1

Try loading them as follows (note the path):

//= require_tree ../../../vendor/assets/javascripts

Answer 2

If you want hammer.js to be precompiled as a separated file, you should change config.assets.precompile in config/environments/production.rb, I guess.

Like config.assets.precompile += %w{ hammer.js }, and you will see public/assets/hammer.js.
