Question

I’ve just migrated to rails 3.1 and I’m having trouble getting started with the asset pipeline.

I ran: bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production after adding additional css files into config.assets.precompile += ['scaffold.css', 'other.css', 'other.js'] all of my files are located in the /app/asset images, javascripts, or stylesheets path.

Following the rake task, I can see the manifest.yml file but it is missing the additional css and js files I added to the config.assets.precompile

Here is my manifest.yml file that lives on prod:

What is going on here? I’ve restarted both passenger with touch restart.txt and nginx. I’ve read all of the documentation on this issue.

nginx error.log:

Answer 1

Have you set the config.assets.precompile values in application.rb ? If you set them elsewhere they won’t be picked up when you precompile.
