I developed a Rails 3.1 application that consists of a 100% Ajax CRUD forms to input users and customers. I created two separate models, controllers, views etc. The views
Adding config.serve_static_assets = false to development.rb will prevent loading files from /public/assets.
Actually I need to precompile locally because my test mode is using only static assets from /public/assets - tests are catching possible production asset problems. How? Just set config.assets.compile = false and config.serve_static_assets = true in test.rb configuration.
