I use codekit for writing less which it then converts to css automatically.
I don't want rails to convert my less files to css, I rather codekit do it.
if I precompile the assets via
rake assets:precompile
I get
rake aborted!
cannot load such file -- less
How do I exclude a specific folder/file types from precompiling? (all my less files are in app/assets/stylesheets/less and the css (which I do want to be precompiled) are in app/assets/stylesheets/css
update
deleting application.less
solves this but how do I excluding it from processing in the first place?
From the Asset Pipeline guide:
The default matcher for compiling files includes application.js, application.css and all non-JS/CSS files (i.e., .coffee and .scss files are not automatically included as they compile to JS/CSS):
[ Proc.new{ |path| !File.extname(path).in?(['.js', '.css']) }, /application.(css|js)$/ ]
If you have other manifests or individual stylesheets and JavaScript files to include, you can add them to the precompile array:
config.assets.precompile += ['admin.js', 'admin.css', 'swfObject.js']
So, I would say that your solution is to modify config.assets.precompile
to exclude .less
files. Maybe something like this (in a suitable environment file, like config/environments/production.rb
):
config.assets.precompile = [ Proc.new{ |path| !File.extname(path).in?(['.js', '.css', '.less']) }, /application.(css|js)$/ ]
