rake cg:compile_assets aborted

While trying to deploy crabgrass I get the following:

rake cg:compile_assets --trace

@mightydread I don't think cg:compile_assets exists as a rake task. Where did you learn about it? Maybe it's an issue with the docs. At least rake -T does not show it for me.

[mightydread]

I found it in the documentation.. I checked rake -T and found the equivalent.. Thanks...

[azul]

@mightydread ahh.... compile_assets is only used in production mode it seems. Are you trying to deploy for production and not development?

[mightydread]

Yes..
Maybe you can help me with that.. Everything went fine, apache is serving the public folder but it stilll complains about icon_png.css not being precompiled. I have followed the production deployment instructions but to no avail...

[azul]

We do not use the rails assets pipeline for css - only for js. Lemme lookup how the css is build.

@mightydread, please try

  rake cg:images:update_css

[mightydread]

I created the directory.. and it compiled...
Thank you!

[azul]

lemme keep this open as a reminder to create the directory in the rake task and to add it to the install instructions.

[mightydread]

Awesome!
Now off to configure the rest... 😄
