Production pre-compile generates an error

[tsiedsma]

I've been testing your package and have run into an issue in my local and development environments.
Both systems produce the exact same error when trying to pre-compile assets for production use.

$ php artisan larasset:precompile --environment production

[InvalidArgumentException]
There are no commands defined in the "larasset" namespace.

Running the same command without the environment option does a successful pre-compile but does not minify or compress anything.

laravel.log entry:

[2014-12-01 15:55:06] false.ERROR: exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'There are no commands defined in the "larasset" namespace.' in /vagrant/vendor/symfony/console/Symfony/Component/Console/Application.php:516

Hi,

Can you run this command in your terminal ?

php artisan env

It should not output production, can you check this ?

And you need to enable debug mode in your local or development environment.
Create or edit the file app/config/local/app.php:

<?php

return [
    'debug' => true,
    // Others config options....
];

See also #5

[tsiedsma]

Current application environment: local

Debug is set to true in my app/config/local/app.php

Can you try to create or edit this file app/config/app.php:

<?php

return [
    'debug' => true,
    // Others config options....
];

The issue is here.

This code doesn't seem to work with local env:

$this->app['config']->get('app.debug')

I need to find a way to read the debug config option in other env than production...

[tsiedsma]

Thank you, setting debug true in production app.php did the trick.

I have another question. My local server is on vagrant and uses apache, when larasset generates links to assets, it uses localhost:3000, is there a way to have it use the real url and port like the rest of laravel? I'm not running the artisan server...

<link media="all" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost:3000/assets/application.css">

Should Be:

<link media="all" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost:8080/assets/application.css">

[tortuetorche]

If your application is in production mode and your assets are precompiled it should be OK.

[tsiedsma]

It's my local dev instance, it's in local mode. I need to be able to work on my local dev instance and have the links generate properly.

http://localhost:3000/assets/application.css is a 404, that port doesn't exist and is not forwarded through vagrant.

[tortuetorche]

You can set this env variable : ASSETS_ENV=local

[tsiedsma]

I can confirm that works, thank you for your prompt help!

[tortuetorche]

OK, I reopen this issue because of the local debug config option bug.

The commit 8559325 fix this issue.
So the --environment command line option is renamed to --assets-env. and larasset-environment command line option is renamed to --larasset-env.
So don't forget to change your build script 😄
