Rails and Sprockets require file from parent folder

I'm using Sprockets and I want to add require from parent folder into my application.js, So I've tried this : 

//= require ../plugins/adminlte/plugins/datatables/dataTables.bootstrap

but it doesn't work I get

Sprockets::FileNotFound

this is the path of file I want to import :

-lib/assets/plugins/adminlte/plugins/dataTables.bootstrap.js

My solution to the same problem was to explicitly add the directory to the assets path in application.rb:

  class Application < Rails::Application
      # Initialize configuration defaults for originally generated Rails version.
      config.load_defaults 5.2
      config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join('app/assets/the_folder')

I could then import the required file without having to reference the folder:

 *
 *= require 'the_asset.scss'
 *= require_tree .
 *= require_self
 */

Any folder created directly under assets will be added to the load paths. So you just have to use //=require adminlte/plugins/dataTables.bootstrap.js
