[chef] deploy_revision with asset pipeline compilation

[Sachin Sagar Rai < >]

Ohai Chefs!

I've a situation with my rails app deployment.

This assets:precompile hook is taking a LONG TIME, almost 5mins just waiting, though the assets were not modified.

deploy_revision app['id'] do

  ......

  ......

  before_restart do

    # release_path is the path to the timestamp dir for the current release

    current_release = release_path

    # Create a local variable for the node so we'll have access to the attributes

    deploy_node = node

    # A local variable with the deploy resource.

    deploy_resource = new_resource

    Chef::Log.info "---- Release path is: #{current_release} ----"

    Chef::Log.info "*" * 20 + "COMPILING ASSETS" + "*" * 20

    execute "asset_precompile" do

      cwd release_path

      user app['owner']

      group app['group']

      command "bundle exec rake assets:precompile --trace"

      environment ({'RAILS_ENV' => rails_env})

    end

  end

end

There are gists available for capistrano recipe.

What I want is to add somekind of check and if repo is updated, do the compilation. 

If not then just move/copy the earlier compiled assets without breaking the asset pipeline.
