Can't override bower_components_path

[SergeyKishenin]

I have config.bower_components_path = Rails.root.join('vendor', 'assets', 'components') in application.rb, but there is no success:

$ rails c
2.1.1 :001 > Rails.application.config.bower_components_path
 => #<Pathname:/home/sergey/src/bowerify-test/lib/assets/components>

Moving

app.config.bower_components_path = Rails.root.join('lib', 'assets', 'components')
app.config.assets.paths << app.config.bower_components_path

from bowerify/railtie.rb to application.rb with custom path solved this issue.

Hey Sergey, I just moved the assets.path into an after_initialization block, so now it should be customizable from rails apps. I also added multiple locations support that we were talking about a while back.

Could you please check if it works now correctly for you? Thanks

Just in case here is the commit c088fdc

Nope, it doesn't work correctly, I still can't override bower_components_path.

I guess, that bowerify's railtie invokes after we assign any values to bower_components_path in application.rb. I've tried to do place all the stuff into before_configuration block:

    config.before_configuration do |app|
      app.config.bower_components_path = [
        Rails.root.join('lib', 'assets', 'components'),
        Rails.root.join('vendor', 'assets', 'components')
      ]

      app.config.assets.paths += Array(app.config.bower_components_path)
    end

Now I'm able to override bower_components_path!

But there is another problem:app.config.assets.paths remains the same (with default values excluding my own). To fix it I have to duplicate config.assets.paths += Array(config.bower_components_path) line to my application.rb.

And I think it is OK. Once we need to have custom paths we need to care about assets.paths and keep it up-to-date manually.

I can attach a pull request here if you find this stuff useful.

Also, I think that bower_components_path should be bower_components_paths since it is an array of paths.

thanks for the quick response. i think i should just defmethod on app.config to the the paths
