Compile Assets

Compile agorize-core assets

Instructions

Recompile the production assets for agorize-core. This requires temporarily patching config/database.yml so the production: environment points to the local development database (required by the precompile script), then reverting the file afterwards.

Step 1 — Patch database.yml

Read config/database.yml and replace the production: section so it is identical to the development: section.

The current production section looks like:

production:
  <<: *default
  url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>

Replace it with:

production:
  <<: *default
  encoding: unicode
  database: agorize_development

Use the Edit tool to make this change precisely.

Step 2 — Run the precompile script

Run the following command (it may take several minutes):

sh bin/precompile_assets_for_production.sh

Wait for it to complete. Stream the output so the user can see progress.

Step 3 — Revert database.yml

Restore the original production: section in config/database.yml:

production:
  <<: *default
  url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>

Step 4 — Commit the compiled assets

Stage and commit all changes in public/assets/ and public/packs/ with the message compile assets.

git add public/assets/ public/packs/
git commit -m "compile assets"

Important notes

• Always revert database.yml even if the precompile script fails.
• Do not commit the temporary database.yml change.
• The script runs assets:clobber before assets:precompile, so old assets are deleted first.
