I have these files in my lib/assets folder (sketchyPad is a jQuery plugin for drawing on html5 canvas and farbastic is a color picker used by sketchyPad):

So I want to include sketchyPad.js, sketchyPad.css and also all the js in the brushes folder and also the farbtastic.min js file.
In app/assets/javascripts/application.js I put:
//= require sketchyPad (this part works fine and correctly includes sketchyPad.js)
but I also want to include
lib/assets/sketchyPad/brushes/simple.js
lib/assets/sketchyPad/brushes/smooth.js
and any other js files in the brushes folder, how do I use require_directory when it is not in the app/assets but in the lib/assets or vendor/assets?
Update:
I have tried
require_tree sketchyPad
but errors with:
require_tree argument must be a relative path
I have tried
require_tree ./sketchyPad
but errors with:
require_tree argument must be a directory
I think require_tree must be relative to the app/assets folder, but putting something like
require_tree ./../lib/assets/sketchyPad/brushes
also gives error:
require_tree argument must be a directory
Eitherway I don't want to include the entire sketchyPad tree, because it does contain some js files that I don't want to include... like examples and it's own version of older jQuery.
UPDATE:
What I ended up doing was creating a lib.js in the lib/assets/javascripts folder with a manifest to include the sketchyPad js files as relative to the lib/assets folder rather than the app/assets folder.
in app/assets/javascripts/application.js I put:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery-ui
//= require lib
and in lib/assets/javascripts/lib.js I put:
//= require ./../sketchyPad/sketchyPad
//= require_tree ./../sketchyPad/brushes
//= require ./../sketchyPad/example/mattfarina-farbtastic-4bb6bbf/farbtastic.min
That appears to include the correct files. Was there an easier way to do this?
