A command-line tool that avoids unnecessary compiles when using the Rails Asset Pipeline.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'pipefitter'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install pipefitter
The pipefitter command is a smart wrapper to use when compiling your assets:
$ pipefitter
Running `bundle exec rake assets:precompile`...
Finished compiling assets!
It will automatically check if something changed that would require another compile:
$ pipefitter
Skipped compile because no changes were detected.
You can archive a compile in case it can be reused later (ex. switching back and forth between branches)
$ pipefitter --archive
$ rm -rf public/assets # oh no!
$ pipefitter
Used compiled assests from local archive!
# boom. didn't even need to recompile
Run a custom compile command:
$ pipefitter --command script/awesome_compile
Running `script/awesome_compile`...
Finished compiling assets!
If something seems out of sorts with the change detection, you can force asset compilation:
$ pipefitter --force
Running `bundle exec rake assets:precompile`...
Finished compiling assets!
