angular-rails-templates gem error with sprockets 3.0.0

I have been integrating AngularJS with Rails using bower-rails gem and angular-rails-templates gem.

Recently, i've encountered a problem with templates in AngularJS. It gives me an error that looks like this in the chrome brower console:

Error: [$compile:tpload] Failed to load template: specific/html/url.html

I checked the template files and there was nothing wrong with them. My next step was to checkout if there are angular-rails-templates issues.

Unfortunately there is an issue between the Sprockets 3.0 and angular-rails-templates. There are multiple temporary hacks to make this work, however in my situation I don't need the new Sprockets update.

My solution is to revert back to the old Sprockets version, specifically version 2.12.3.

Here are the steps to revert back to Sprockest version 2.12.3:

Step 1

Specify sprockets version on Gemfile.

gem 'sprockets', '2.12.3'

Step 2

If this runs successfully, you should be able to see this on the terminal: Using sprockets 2.12.3 (was 3.0.0)

And on your Gemfile.lock

sprockets (2.12.3)

That's it! Make sure you this issue in Github.
