Using externally hosted javascript about teaspoon HOT 8 CLOSED

Ah... so, the source you link to is total bullshit, and I hate it, but sprockets + the railtie are such crap that it requires us to do that. Honestly, it drives me nuts.

And yes, external scripts are an oversight. How would you like it to be implemented? To include external libraries like this in your suite.javascripts configuration, or some other means?

Looking at my own projects, it seems like it'd have to be either in the suite config or in spec_helper.

The advantage of putting it in the suite config is that it'd be clean. The advantage of spec_helper is that I'm already putting my other dependencies in spec_helper, so it'd seem a natural place to put external libraries (although it's markedly different to what people are used to with sprockets)

Another option might just be asynchronously loading the external dependencies (by adding a script tag to the page) in spec_helper, which (I think) would work without any changes to teabag itself.

I went with adding the ability from within the suite config.. hopefully that covers the need.

I wish sprockets supported it itself though: sstephenson/sprockets#289

Can you give an example of how this works?

from teaspoon.

For example, if I want to include externally hosted javascript files on every suite, what do I need to do to get this up and running with teaspoon?

Hey sorry I figured this out, didn't read the docs carefully enough!

What is the solution here? I know I can make a boot partial where I can download what I need, but it's far from ideal.

you should be able to put them in the configuration in 0.8 (master)

suite.javascripts << ['//cdn.com/jquery']
