Where does application.js code go in rails 3.1?

Question

Prior to rails 3.1, javascript code that was common to the application belonged in application.js by default, and was loaded by javascript_include_tag :defaults

With the asset pipeline in rails 3.1, the application.js file becomes a manifest file, and it appears that code I put in it is not included in the result. Where is this javascript code supposed to be moved to now? Obviously, I could create any other name and make sure that it is included by the manifest, but is there a default location already expected by idiom?

Answer 1

I encounter the same problem in rails 3.1 rc6. I use javascript_include_tag :application instead

Answer 2

Look closer:

the code in application.js is rendered, it's just at the end of the resulting js file.

Example, try:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree .
alert('foo');

the alert dialog will appear in all pages.
