Ok, so my asset pipeline has suddenly started acting up on my development machine. JS functions that previously worked are now throwing "not a function" errors.. I know I must be doing something wrong. A minute ago the datatables jquery function was working, then it was throwing an error, then it was working, and now it's not working or throwing an error.

Here is my application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_self
//= require_tree .
//= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables
//= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables.bootstrap
//= require bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-popover
//= require bootstrap-tab
//= require bootstrap-modal
//= require bootstrap-alert
//= require bootstrap-dropdown
//= require jquery.ui.addresspicker
//= require raty
//= require jquery.alphanumeric
//= require jquery.formrestrict
//= require select2
//= require chosen/chosen.jquery
//= require highcharts
//= require jquery.lazyload

Here is some of my layout header:

  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all" %>
  <%= yield(:scripthead) %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>    
  <%= yield(:head) %>   

Above I am using the yield to load up online scripts from google as they're only needed on some pages, and generally slow down the site if included in the application layout. I tried removing the yield but things were still broken, even after clearing the browser cache and running rake assets:clean (just to be on the safe side).

Here's what shows up between CSS and metatags (for a page with nothin in the yield scripthead):

From application.rb:

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
# Enable the asset pipeline
config.assets.enabled = true
config.action_controller.assets_dir = "#{File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__))}/public"

# Version of your assets, change this if you want to expire all your assets
config.assets.version = '1.0'

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what else to include to help with this puzzle, but any advise would be appreciated. I was having no problems before I started trying to upload to heroku and now everything's gone haywire.

EDIT:

In the console at the moment I'm seeing

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Constructor' of undefined bootstrap-popover.js:33
Uncaught ReferenceError: google is not defined jquery.ui.addresspicker.js:25
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'popover' overall:476
