Would not compile other assets with config.assets.precompile directive

[jgrannas]

In my staging.rb environment file i was trying to precompile these files:

config.assets.precompile += ['admin/admin.css', 'admin/admin.js']

I had to remove the capistrano-faster-assets gem for this to work.

I had a similar problem and got it working by adding my additional files to the cap variable assets_dependencies. Here's what I did:

# in config/deploy.rb
set :assets_dependencies, fetch(:assets_dependencies) + Dir['engines/*/app/assets']

Is there a proper fix for this?

Would it be reasonable to "read" the application configuration to retrieve that setting, rather than duplicate it in deploy.rb or deploy/staging.rb?

Not saying I know how to do that 😀, but if we could figure out how to "ask" the application for its asset directories, it would "DRY" it up a bit?

[mattherick]

Yes, that would be great!
