How can I disable Rails 3.1 Asset Pipeline?

Question

How can I temporarily disable the asset pipeline functionality that Rails 3.1 provides? (I am performing an upgrade)

Answer 1

try this in your application.rb

config.assets.enabled = false

Answer 2

Putting this line inside the application.rb

config.assets.enabled = false

You can also disable the asset pipeline while creating a new application by passing the —skip-sprockets option.

rails new appname --skip-sprockets

You can use --skip-assets with generate to skip producing asset stubs.
