Conditional execution of javascript / embedding Cappuccino files into Rails

rubyonrails-talk

I have a Cappuccino app that I am integrating with a Rails backend. A key feature of the app is authentication which is managed entirely by rails. The way I set it up is that the cappuccino js conditionally executes if the user is logged in, like this:

<% if signed_in? %>

<div id="cappuccino-body"> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello World") </script> </div>

<% end %>

Where signed_in? is a rails method that returns a boolean value reflecting whether the user is authenticated.

The issue I am having is when I embed the scripts to launch Cappuccino into an erb page, I get 404 errors because Rails cannot find the associated files. I tried putting them into /vendor/assets and /public with no luck in either case. Does anyone know the right location for these files? Or is this a routing issue and I need to update my routes file?

I fixed the issue, it turns out that putting everything in a directory inside Public was messing it up. Once I changed my references to account for that, everything worked.
