Heroku support

[aroop]

Hi,

Thanks for making it an opensource gem.

Just wanted to check if you guys had any experience in using this gem in heroku?

If not I might actually test it and check if its compatible with heroku infrastructure (no write access on the server).

Thanks,
Ajay

Hey Ajay,

I've used AssetHat with a Heroku site before, but their file system was indeed limiting. Rather than minifying CSS/JS on the Heroku server (as you would elsewhere), I tweaked my deployment script to instead minify CSS/JS locally (rake asset_hat:minify), commit public/stylesheets/bundles/ and public/javascripts/bundles/ to my repo, then push to Heroku.

If you do write any similar/better workarounds, feel free to share them in this project's wiki!

Cheers,
Ron
