“rake assets：precompile”的糟糕时间表现

Question

Running:

bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

Takes about 6 minutes for 15 .js files of about 250kb total. It should not take this long surely? I see the 'Microsoft Console Based Script Host' working flat out for most of this time.

What would people recommend / know is possible? Is there a way to replace this with Ruby-Racer or another javascript V8 engine implementation? OR to find out the problem in my code that's causing the long time? Or something else?

Answer 1

Which server are you running? Is it Ubuntu, Debian, Mac? Make sure you have this in your Gemfile:

group :production do
  gem "libv8"
  gem "therubyracer", :require => 'v8'
end

You can also try to remove unused files in your app/assets/* folders. Time is most spent on JS compilation.
