How to exclude assets from gems/engines? Known approach looks tedious or like a hack about propshaft HOT 4 OPEN

Thanks @kevynlebouille,

I think this does not work for Propshaft, as assets.precompile only exists for compatibility reasons. See

Turbo::Engine::PRECOMPILE_ASSETS seems also just have the file names, not the path. See https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-rails/blob/6958e0e2742d4744da80128d178e7255989386a4/lib/turbo/engine.rb#L29

We are currently taking a look at how we handle paths due to a caching bug and will take a look at this after we handle that.

Hi @tmaier ,

I saw something in turbo-rail repo like that (put in your application.rb for instance)

config.after_initialize do
  config.assets.precompile -= Turbo::Engine::PRECOMPILE_ASSETS
end

You could use the same approach for anything come from another gem.

May not be ideal, but I used this workaround:

# config/initializers/assets.rb
Rails.application.config.after_initialize do |app|
    app.config.assets.paths = %w(
      app/assets/builds
      app/assets/config
      app/assets/images
    )
end
