Duplicate assets in collection

[radmen]

In app/assets/javascripts I have a bunch of JS files. I'd like to make one of them (jquery.js) to be the first in collection.

I decided to do something like this:

$collection->add('../app/assets/javascripts/jquery.js');
$collection->directory('../app/assets/javascripts', function($c) {
  $c->requireDirectory();
});

On the output I have duplicate jquery entry. It's because it was included in collection twice. IMO it would be great if Basset could somehow detect duplicates and skip them.

Possibly my problem is because I can't easily order my assets.

I have a feeling this too may be related to assets being outside of public. I can't recreate this.

If that's the case I might have it log an error of some description when trying to navigate outside of public. It's just too much of a hassle. I'll look into some possible solutions.

Ok, I'll try to move my assets to public and then give feedback.

Moving assets to public fixed the problem.

Cool thanks @radmen. I know it's possible. But from now on I'm going to push for people to keep them in public. It's easier for everyone involved. :smile:

Once again I'm reopening this issue :)

This time I have some more details, so let's start from them.

// app/config/packages/jasonlewis/basset/config.php
'application' => function($collection)
        {
            $directory = $collection->directory('assets/stylesheets', function($collection)
            {
                $collection->add('bootstrap.css');
                $collection->add('style.css');
                $collection->add('rwd.css');

                $collection->requireDirectory('less')->apply('Less');
                $collection->requireDirectory('sass')->apply('Sass');
                $collection->requireDirectory();

                dd($collection);
            });
        }

Output (fragment) of dd():

protected 'assets' => 
    object(Illuminate\Support\Collection)[179]
      protected 'items' => 
        array (size=7)
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets/bootstrap.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[182]
              ...
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets/style.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[184]
              ...
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets/rwd.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[186]
              ...
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets\bootstrap.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[205]
              ...
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets\jqcloud.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[206]
              ...
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets\rwd.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[210]
              ...
          'W:\xxx\public/assets\stylesheets\style.css' => 
            object(Basset\Asset)[212]
              ...

As you can see same assets where added to collection. It happens only on Windows, so probably it's something related with DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.
