Ok so, I'm getting this error when I try to use the asset pipeline. I don't understand what's causing it.
Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper::AssetPaths::AssetNotPrecompiledError in Photos#show
Showing .../app/views/photos/_photo_view.html.haml where line #2 raised:
jquery.autocomplete isn't precompiled
Extracted source (around line #2):
1: - content_for :scripts do
2: = javascript_include_tag 'jquery.autocomplete'
However, this IS precompiled. I ran rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production before starting the server, and in my public/assets directory I have the file: jquery-5550a245a55b28927b5552cac182e612.autocomplete.js as well as .js.gz, and it's accurately reflected in the manifest:
#manifest.yml

The javascript file in question is not loaded in my application.js file because I only need it on one view and don't use it anywhere else in the app. To account for that (and to fix sprockets trying to compile sass partials) I configured my precompile regexp like so:
#environments/production.rb
config.assets.precompile = [/^[a-zA-Z]*\..*/]
(The above regexp precompiles any file that starts with a letter character, and ignores files starting with a non-letter character like an underscore).
Does anyone have any insight into what's causing this and how it can be fixed? The asset pipeline is making me pull my hair out!
UPDATE
just found out that Rails.configuration.assets.digests is returning nil in production. maybe the problem is there, for some reason sprockets is not finding the manifest.yml.
Im probably mistaken but seems like sprockets is not using the assets_host in config when looking for the manifest.yml.

I have been wrestling with the problem myself, although with config.assets.compile = false set, as I suspect the example above was with the flag set to true.
Cannot configure assets via pipeline on local production rails 3.1.3 server
My observations came down to it being a Sprockets 2.0.3 bug, as UberNeet suggested towards. The workaround was to either remove the period from the asset name, or include it as part of a manifest, rather than link to it directly.
The bug report for this is here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/3398
Looking at your issue above, and tallying it with my experience from the last two days, I suspect there is an associated issue with asset naming when config.assets.compile = true is set. This issue probably stems from the asset naming - your manifest has the jquery.autocomplete library percompiled as:
jquery-5550a245a55b28927b5552cac182e612.autocomplete.js
But when you precompile these assets via rake using rake assets:precompile, I believe they are actually compiled to:
jquery.autocomplete-5550a245a55b28927b5552cac182e612.js
It is probably this discrepancy that is causing the issue you mentioned. Might be worth raising another github issue for this too, although the workarounds are listed above, and I understand that Rails 3.2 will be using Sprockets 2.1.0, which may contain the fix for this issue already.
Add the .js to
javascript_include_tag 'jquery.autocomplete.js'
Seems like there is an missing functionality. When the filename has a period '.' in the name, the .js extension will not get added when looking into the digest.
I did some debugging to Sprockets::Helpers::RailsHelper and it seems like digest_for methods gets the logical path without the .js.
Be shure that it isn't required before in application.js for example.
