Rails: Use livereload with Asset Pipeline

问题

Quick question for rails pros out there...

When working with Rails 3.0.x apps I was a heavy user of Guard and LiveReload. However, it seems that when using the asset pipeline in Rails 3.1 the livereload guard does not know that changes to a Sass file should trigger sending new css to the browser.

Is anyone using LiveReload with the Asset Pipeline? If so, how are you making it work?

Thanks!

After following some issue threads on Github I found the following fixed my problem:

1) Make sure all scss files are named following the new asset convention, like so: filename.css.scss

I was using scss before Rails 3.1 and had just named all my sass files filename.scss.

2) Use the following for livereload in your guardfile:

guard 'livereload' do
  watch(%r{app/helpers/.+\.rb})
  watch(%r{app/views/.+\.(erb|haml)})
  watch(%r{(public/).+\.(css|js|html)})
  watch(%r{app/assets/stylesheets/(.+\.css).*$})    { |m| "assets/#{m[1]}" }
  watch(%r{app/assets/javascripts/(.+\.js).*$}) { |m| "assets/#{m[1]}" }
  watch(%r{lib/assets/stylesheets/(.+\.css).*$})    { |m| "assets/#{m[1]}" }
  watch(%r{lib/assets/javascripts/(.+\.js).*$}) { |m| "assets/#{m[1]}" }
  watch(%r{vendor/assets/stylesheets/(.+\.css).*$}) { |m| "assets/#{m[1]}" }
  watch(%r{vendor/assets/javascripts/(.+\.js).*$})  { |m| "assets/#{m[1]}" }
  watch(%r{config/locales/.+\.yml})
end

I have found the following to work quite well too:

guard :livereload do
  watch(%r{^app/.+\.(erb|haml|js|css|scss|sass|coffee|eco|png|gif|jpg)})
  watch(%r{^app/helpers/.+\.rb})
  watch(%r{^public/.+\.html})
  watch(%r{^config/locales/.+\.yml})
end

This is not the default code that is generated when you run guard init livereload as for some reason that does not work so well with sass imports.

As @mirko mentioned in his comment, extra .css on scss files is deprecated. So adding that isn't a great solution, and I've experienced that simply adding the scss extension forces a page reload.

So I found that this works:

watch(%r{(app|vendor)(/assets/\w+/(.+)\.(scss))}) { |m| "/assets/#{m[3]}.css" }`

My understanding is this maps the scss file to the compiled css file. I hope it works for sass too.
