Rails using cached application.css despite changes

Question

I have a Rails 3.1 application that uses SASS. The application.css.scss file looks like:

@import \'reset.css\';
@import \'960.css\';
@import \'p

To wipe out the asset pipeline cache, a brute force rm -rf tmp/* will suffice. This has certainly fixed a few otherwise inexplicable CSS and JavaScript glitches in my experience. As a preventative measure, it might also be a good idea to clear the cache after upgrading gems or changing the asset pipeline configuration, although this may just be superstition.

Finally, if you are experimenting with rake assets:precompile in your development environment (more on this in a later article), you’ll also want to rm -rf public/assets/* afterwards to clean that up.
