rake assets:precompile:nodigest in Rails 4

Question

In Rails 3 there was a rake assets:precompile:nodigest task which was compiling assets and writing them without the digest part in /public/assets directory. In Rails 4 this

Answer 1

Thank you Dylan Markow, I follow his answer, but I found that there are several versions of an asset (e.g. application-0a*.css, application-9c*.css, ...) when using Capistrano so that latest one should be non-digested. Here the logic is:

namespace :my_app do
  task non_digested: :environment do
    assets = Dir.glob(File.join(Rails.root, 'public/assets/**/*'))
    regex = /(? c[:mtime]
        candidates[non_digested] = {orig: file, mtime: file_mtime}
      end
    end

    # genearate
    for non_digested, val in candidates do
      FileUtils.cp(val[:orig], non_digested)
    end
  end
end

Rake::Task['assets:precompile'].enhance do
  Rake::Task['my_app:non_digested'].invoke
end

As wells as, I applied 907th's regex comment, and add hook let this task executes after precompile.
