Preventing Heroku from using precompiled assets in development mode

문제
Currently it seems Heroku is determined to pre-compile assets when I push my code up to my instances.
This is great for production servers, however for my "RAILS_ENV=development" server, this causes issues, as I now get pages with all the JavaScript files served up individually from my asset manifest, and then another file with the same code all grouped up as the pre-compiled asset.
This cause my jquery datatables libraries to break, throwing popup errors, which I don't get on my local environment (development or production) or in my production Heroku instance.
Is there anyway to disable pre-compilation of assets on Heroku for development mode instances ? Or is there any reason why these aren't already disabled on development Heroku servers already ?

If Heroku detect a public/assets/manifest.yml file then they will not attempt to precompile your assets and assume you are dealing with them yourself. More details at http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails31_heroku_cedar

AFAIK, Heroku has to precompile assets to work around their readonly FS and the fact that the Rails asset pipeline wants to write files to the FS. The only thing I could suggest would be to work out why your assets are breaking when being compiled.
I worked around this by adding some voodoo to my Rakefile to disable the assets:precompile rake task.
first I add the user-env-compile labs component
heroku labs:enable user-env-compile
then add this to the beginning of my Rakefile
# found from http://blog.jayfields.com/2008/02/rake-task-overwriting.html
# used by conditional heroku asset compile magick
class Rake::Task
def overwrite(&block)
@actions.clear
enhance(&block)
end
end
Then I add this rake task in lib/tasks/disable_assets_on_heroku.rake
if ENV['RAILS_ENV'] == 'development'
namespace :assets do
task(:precompile).overwrite do
puts "Asset precompile skipped in #{ENV['RAILS_ENV']}"
end
end
end
