OK, I've figured out the cause of my problem. Rails calculates the asset timestamps with the asset files contained in RAILS_ROOT/public. The mtime of those files are all changed when I deploy my application. To have Rails looks in my specific assets folders directory (different than RAILS_ROOT/public), I add a deploy task to symlink the RAILS_ROOT/public to this directory (I could not figure out how to set Rails.public_path in a config file). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
