Rails Asset Caching Breaks First few page loads
- by Brian Armstrong
We're using Rails asset caching for JS and CSS like this:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults, 'autocomplete', 'searchbox', 'jqmodal', :cache => set_asset_cache(:admins) %>
In our deploy we call rake tmp:assets:clear each time. The problem is that the first few page loads after a deploy come up with no css on the page. I guess until the cached all.js and all.css have been regenerated.
We deploy many times per day and this is scary for any users who happen to come across a busted page.
Have people found any way to make this smoother so the new cached assets are guaranteed to be there on the first new page load?
