Why do I have to precompile my assets in development?

Question

Lately I have to precompile my assets to see my css changes in my development environment. I don't know why this, the environment setting config.assets.debug is still set to true. I find this rather annoying, I believe I didn't have to run precompile after every change before. How do I make rails compile on page load again?

I'm running Rails 3.1.3. I don't know what other info to provide, please let me know what you need to know to solve this.

Try completely removing your compiled assets and it should reset to the default development behavior. Otherwise, Rails will keep trying to load your precompiled public/assets/ files before loading the stuff under app/assets/:

rake assets:clean
