Vlad Assets

Vlad tasks for the Rails asset pipeline. They are very simple, but I found myself duplicating them across all my projects, so this gem was born.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'vlad-assets', :require => false

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install vlad-assets

Usage

Then add to your config/deploy.rb:

require 'vlad/assets'

Two tasks are provided that you can add into your existing deploy task(s): vlad:assets:clean & vlad:assets:precompile, which are anagolous to the assets:clean & assets:precompile tasks provided to Rails.

If you are setting shared_paths in your deploy configuration, you should add {'assets' => 'public/assets'} if you do zero-downtime deploys. This solves the problem of assets disappearing when the release directory change but the app has not yet restarted. If you do not set shared_paths manually, Vlad Assets will do so for you—though you may prefer to add it to be explicit.
