Why does rails precompile task do non-digest assets

Question

When I do: rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production I get for example the following files in my public/assets folder:

• application-7af6c31514bcdd4cce3c96892af4487f.js
• application-7af6c31514bcdd4cce3c96892af4487f.js.gz
• application.js
• application.js.gz

The last 2 are a problem because it causes the compiled version to get served in development and I don't understand why they are being generated.

I have the following line in my production.rb:

config.assets.digest = true

Answer 1

To stop the creation of the non-hashed filenames in public use:

rake assets:precompile:primary RAILS_ENV=production
