Overriding Spree Assets

Question

I'm using spree 2.1.5, rails 4.0.2, sass-rails 4.0.0.

The spree documentation at http://guides.spreecommerce.com/developer/asset.html indicates using the vendor/assets/stylesheets folder. However, examples I see of spree stylesheet overrides on Github and from other google search show many people using the app/assets/stylesheets folder.

Is it best to override spree styles in the folder my_store/app/assets/stylesheets? Or my_store/vendor/assets/stylesheets?

Answer 1

I put my css in the "normal" place - in app/assets/stylesheets, and nothing changed. I put my css in the vendor/assets/stylesheets folder, and they were applied.

Working with Spree very un-like working with "Rails" - though spree is running on a rails server. The process starts with, "Where are the files?" and gets more bizarre from there. This is why I am abandoning it for a custom solution. In many cases, it would take longer to learn how to modify/customize Spree, than to write a new solution (for the parts of it we actually need) from scratch.
