Static assets not refreshing with symfony2 clear cache command

Question

I\'m using Assetic with the compass filter to pass and compile .scss files. This part of the setup seems to work fine. However, my understanding was that in the app_dev environm

Answer 1

I know this is an old topic but the only answers I could fine were the CompassElephantBundle and the above AsseticController hack. I've got an approach which is essentially but means I didn't have to edit the vendor package.

The way I have done it is to edit copy the original AsseticController and then linking to that in the config from the parameters.

parameters:
    assetic.controller.class: Acme\RandomBundle\Controller\AsseticController

The copied AsseticController just does a preg_match for the filetype from the source path and corrects caching from there.

enableProfiler && null !== $this->profiler) {
        $this->profiler->disable();
    }

    if (!$this->am->has($name)) {
        throw new NotFoundHttpException(sprintf('The "%s" asset could not be found.', $name));
    }

    $asset = $this->am->get($name);
    if (null !== $pos && !$asset = $this->findAssetLeaf($asset, $pos)) {
        throw new NotFoundHttpException(sprintf('The "%s" asset does not include a leaf at position %d.', $name, $pos));
    }

    $bustCache = preg_match('/\.(scss|sass|less)$/', $asset->getSourcePath());

    $response = $this->createResponse();
    $response->setExpires(new \DateTime());

    if ($bustCache) {
        $lastModified = time();
        $date = new \DateTime();
        $date->setTimestamp($lastModified);
        $response->setLastModified($date);
    }
    else
    {
        // last-modified
        if (null !== $lastModified = $asset->getLastModified()) {
            $date = new \DateTime();
            $date->setTimestamp($lastModified);
            $response->setLastModified($date);
        }
    }

    // etag
    if ($this->am->hasFormula($name)) {
        $formula = $this->am->getFormula($name);
        $formula['last_modified'] = $lastModified;
        $response->setETag(md5(serialize($formula)));
    }

    if ($response->isNotModified($this->request)) {
        return $response;
    }

    if ($bustCache) {
        $response->setContent($asset->dump());
    }
    else {
        $response->setContent($this->cachifyAsset($asset)->dump());
    }

    return $response;
}

/* Rest of controller */
