How do I precompile assets in rails in development environment?

ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3.1

Solution

Try adding this to your `config/environments/production.rb` :

config.assets.precompile += %w( *.css *.js )

Problem

I want to manually precompile some assets in my dev environment (to check the content of the compiled js and css files) from the command line. I am running `RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake assets:precompile` but my js and css are not compiled in the public/assets folder, only the images are. Any idea why that may be happening?
