如何获取不包含压缩代码的application.js？

Question

When I run Rails server, I want to use application.js which doesn't include compressed JavaScript code.

In my environment, a compressed one already exists in public/assets/application.js. Though I added a code as follows to development.rb , I still get application.js with compressed code.

config.assets.compress = false

Can I get it without executing rake assets:clean or deleting public/assets folder?

Answer 1

Running rake assets:clobber or rake assets:clean should help.

rake assets:clobber                     # Remove compiled assets
rake assets:clean[keep]                 # Remove old compiled assets

You probably ran assets:precompile which compiles the assets and places them at the public folder. And rails will serve any files that are present there. So cleaning it should solve your problem.
