how do I make public assets in Rails without using the assets pipeline?

Question

I want to bypass the assets pipeline since a very, very silly processing error is completely preventing my app from working.

For example, I want to replace this:

<%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery' %>

with something like

<script type="text/javascript" src="public/javascripts/jquery.js"></script>

How would I go about doing this? whenever I try to use this, the link just ends up pointing to a nonexistent .js file even if I actually put the file in public/javascripts

Answer 1

Remove public, correct path is /javascripts/jquery.js.
