Hi Tom, Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can - https://github.com/capistrano/rails/blob/master/lib/capistrano/tasks/assets.rake#L48 .
However you can still make Rails always compile assets, somehow as far as I remember, even if the static ones are there. As a worst-case, you could configure rails to serve assets from their sources files (i.e not pre compiled) and simply add your own task to delete the compiled assets in that particular environment. Definitely sub-optimal, but also you could probably send a PR to the capistrano/rails maintainers, or even replace this task with your own implementation <https://github.com/capistrano/rails/blob/master/lib/capistrano/tasks/assets.rake#L22-L25>. Note, a lot of people struggle with this, but this increasingly old gem clears up the behaviour of all the rake task override stuff http://blog.jayfields.com/2008/02/rake-task-overwriting.html Lee Hambley http://lee.hambley.name/ +49 (0) 170 298 5667 On 7 January 2015 at 16:52, Tom Harrison <tharri...@pubget.com> wrote: > Versions: > > - Ruby: 2.1 > - Capistrano: 3.1 > - Rake / Rails / etc: 4.1 > > Platform: > > - Working on....: OS X > - Deploying to...: CentOS > > We have a development environment that is not local (we call it > "remotedev"), and have been deploying to it.
