Widgets raise errors when setting Dashing.engine_path to application root

[adimasuhid]

Changed engine_path to '/' and the widgets disappeared and raised errors on their requests. Apparently they are still requesting '/dashing/widgets' instead of '/widgets'. Tried with 2.3.1 and it still failed.

You can customize widgets paths here https://github.com/gottfrois/dashing-rails/blob/master/lib/dashing/configuration.rb#L39

This looks like filepath configurations. Will this change the route that are being requested by the widgets?

[gottfrois]

widgets path and routes path are different. Look here https://github.com/gottfrois/dashing-rails/blob/master/app/controllers/dashing/widgets_controller.rb I have not tried what you are trying to do. Will do

Looked at your issue, it's because the path are hard coded in the JS files:

dashing-rails/vendor/assets/javascripts/dashing/dashing-src.coffee

Line 2 in 4951c42

Batman.config.pathToHTML = "/dashing/widgets/"

dashing-rails/vendor/assets/javascripts/dashing/dashing-src.coffee

Line 97 in 4951c42

source = new EventSource('/dashing/events')

I've tried to use Dashing.config.engine_path here but for some reason it's always taking the default engine_path which is /dashing.
