config.assets.precompile << "exception_handler.css"

One option could be to add config option to copy the assets to packs/ instead of /assets. Use the same option to use asset_pack_path instead of asset_path and not precompile.
Might be some other steps required too...

Hi Nathan, many thanks for the messages & comprehensive information!

I will need to double check this as the system was working fine up until the latest Rails release, so perhaps the assets methods have been phased out completely? I'll check in a bit for you.

Rich

Oh, the asset pipeline hasn’t been completely phased out. To be clear, keeping the asset pipeline still works fine. In my case, the exception_handler gem is the only thing in my project that leverages the asset pipeline so was hoping to be able to configure it so that I could remove the sprockets dependency.

[richpeck]

Understandable. Maybe I could add a configuration option for webpacker only? Rich

@richpeck it would have been great to have it running in webpacker-only mode. The application I am working on also doesn't use sprockets assets pipeline.

[richpeck]

I'll look into this, and the eval problem, today Rich

I looked at the eval problem and you were correct -- I don't know why I used eval when send was sufficient.

I have been looking at webpack integration.

Unfortunately, it looks like getting webpacker to work with engines is not cut and dry. I'm trying to figure out how to make the two work side by side (IE if you don't have sprockets, how to get the CSS to compile with webpack).

I'm hitting this error as well when trying to move away from sprockets to propshaft. Rails admin gem, for rails 7 support, move it's current approach and implemented an install task that detects webpack(er) config and attaches the needed configs to it, in case you want to look at some examples

Hi, is there a workaround for that issue? I've added the gem to a Rails 6.1.6 project with webpacker it getting a undefined method assets' for ...`

[ikonomov17]

In our project I removed a gem, which had sprockets-rails as a dependency and suddenly the app failed to start with the same NoMethodError: undefined method 'assets' .... error. After reintroducing explicitly the sprockets-rails gem it all works again. Is there a reason not to have sprockets-rails specified as a dependency?
