So ive got ratyrate working in development just fine by adding 

<%= javascript_include_tag 'ratyrate.js', "data-turbolinks-track" => false %>

to the body of my view. Prior to this the stars would only load when the url was directly accessed or the page refreshed.

Now I am having the exact same issue (stars not loading when page is accessed through a link) when deploying my app on heroku!

I hope that this is enough info (happy to provide more) and that someone has faced this before/has any ideas! Thanks!

solved - see answer

So the problem was that I forgot to run rake assets:precompile. The solution for development mentioned in the question should work.

SOLUTION

Add <%= javascript_include_tag 'ratyrate.js', "data-turbolinks-track" => false %> to the head (seems to run faster) or body tag in your view.

Also add Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( ratyrate.js ) to config/initializers/assets.rb.

Then make sure you run rake assets:precompile to avoid looking as silly as me!

Hope this helps someone :)

My way to fix it:

jquery.raty.js

rename jquery.raty.js to jquery.raty.js.erb and replace images options with asset_path, for example:

cancelOff : 'cancel-off.png'

will become

cancelOff    : '<%= asset_path('cancel-off.png') %>'

raty_helper.rb

I have moved rating_for method from raty helper to one of my helpers files, I had to override some things anyway, like do not allow user to rate himself that didn't worked out of the box.

Changes I did in this file:

star_path    = options[:star_path]    || ''
star_on      = options[:star_on]      || image_path('star-on.png')
star_off     = options[:star_off]     || image_path('star-off.png')
star_half    = options[:star_half]    || image_path('star-half.png')
cancel_on    = options[:cancel_on]    || image_path('cancel-on.png')
cancel_off   = options[:cancel_off]   || image_path('cancel-off.png')

basically I removed the / before each image name, it was for example:

star_on      = options[:star_on]      || image_path('/star-on.png')

now I can push to heroku and it works as expected without having to run assets precompile on my local machine and push it all to heroku.

This is happening because image locations aren't referencing the asset pipeline. I had to create a new helper file to override the rating_for methods to pull in images from the asset pipeline.

  1. Create a new helper file (raty_helper.rb) in config/initializers
  2. Add "module RatyHelper" to as line 1 of new file
  3. Copy line 2 through line 144 from https://github.com/wazery/ratyrate/blob/master/lib/ratyrate/helpers.rb into your new helper.
