Rails 4 Assets Precompilation with multiple manifest files

Question

I have a rails 4 application. I have 3 sets of manifest files in order to seperate out logic for my app. These files are ``` application.js backoffice.js pos.js application.css backoffice.css pos.css ``` In my layout files, I reference these assets using the associated javascript_link_tags I have added the following to my production.rb file (in order to include these files in the precompilation of assets): ``` config.assets.precompile += %w( backoffice.js pos.js pos.css backoffice.css ) ``` I then run rake assets:precompile, but it is not picking up the additional files. It only compiles the application.js and application.css manifests. In production.rb also, I have: ``` config.serve_static_assets = true config.assets.compile = false ``` Anyone any ideas? thanks

Accepted Answer

If you copy this line

```
config.assets.precompile += %w( backoffice.js pos.js pos.css backoffice.css )
```

to `config/application.rb` (Rails 4.0) (instead of `config/environments/production.rb`) it will work.

I've got a tip from here: Rails 4 assets.precompile

As suggested in the comments, in Rails 4.2 you should write above line in `config/initializers/assets.rb`
