Skipping asset compilation

[Nick Hoffman]

Hi guys. In config/deploy.rb , I have:

namespace :deploy do
  namespace :assets do
    task :precompile, :roles => :web, :except => { :no_release => true } do
      puts '***** Skipping asset compilation *****'
    end
  end
end

However, when I deploy, that message isn't printed. Instead, the normal deploy:assets:precompile runs and begins compiling the assets. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using rvm-capistrano v1.2.7 and capistrano v2.13.5 .

Thanks for your help.

Why not just skip loading the assest extension?

Hi Lee. I didn't realize that could be done. I just commented out this line from Capfile, and assets are no longer compiled when deploying:

    load 'deploy/assets'

Out of curiousity, why was the deploy:assets:precompile task not being overridden with my customization?

Thanks,

Nick

I'm genuinely not sure, might be something weird with it's implementation, I didn't actually write it, and I've never used it!
