Rails 5 doesn't load js file in vendor/assets/javascripts directory

Question

I add some third-party JS libraries to the vendor/assets/javascripts/tooltipster.js. After that, I add in the application.js:

//= require tooltipster

, but I get this error:

couldn't find file 'tooltipster' with type 'application/javascript'

Checked in these paths:

  /home/masterbyter/Desktop/theaterway/app/assets/config
  /home/masterbyter/Desktop/theaterway/app/assets/images
  /home/masterbyter/Desktop/theaterway/app/assets/javascripts
  /home/masterbyter/Desktop/theaterway/app/assets/stylesheets
  /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/font-awesome-rails-4.7.0.2/app/assets/fonts
  /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/font-awesome-rails-4.7.0.2/app/assets/stylesheets
  /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/coffee-rails-4.2.2/lib/assets/javascripts
  /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/jquery-rails-4.3.1/vendor/assets/javascripts
  /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/actioncable-5.1.2/lib/assets/compiled
  /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/actionview-5.1.2/lib/assets/compiled

How to add third-party JS libraries in Rails 5 ?

Answer 1

Just include

//= require tooltipster.js

in application.js and you will need to restart your Rails server.
