Problem with glob syntax and coffeescript

[cyberdelia]

Just to be sure do you have this in your settings :

PIPELINE_COMPILERS = (
    'pipeline.compilers.coffee.CoffeeScriptCompiler',
)

I have a similar setup and it works pretty well. Can you try to debug further or send me more data like what a listing of your files path and how the pipeline package final datastructure looks like ? Have a look at packager.py.

Thanks for your help.

This is my current PIPELINE_COMPILERS.

PIPELINE_COMPILERS = (
  'pipeline.compilers.coffee.CoffeeScriptCompiler',
  'pipeline.compilers.less.LessCompiler',
  'pipeline.compilers.sass.SASSCompiler',
)

And this is STATIC_ROOT, which becomes PIPELINE_ROOT (PROJECT_ROOT is the project's current directory).

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'collected/')

This is how I reproduce the error:

• Delete collected/ if it has been generated by pipeline
• ./manage.py runserver
• Open the url for the first time. *.coffee files are compiled, and the resultant .js files are added
• Refresh. This time, just resultant .js files of the .coffee files that were listed without the glob syntax are added.

I did debug further today, and I tracked down the issue to glob.py. I tested using 'js/app/views/*.coffee' as the only glob pattern in PIPELINE_JS, the rest are .coffee and .js complete relative paths.

First http call, I deleted collected/ previously: From Line 52, storage.listdir(dirname) returns files as [u'update_list_view.coffee', u'update_view.coffee'], which are the 2 files currently in that directory. They are later matched against pattern in fnmatch.filter(names, pattern). pattern here is *.coffee. So it works here.

BTW, these .coffee files are in static/ directory, I'm using staticfiles too.

Second and subsequent calls: storage.listdir(dirname) returns files as [u'update_list_view.js', u'update_view.js'], which are the generated files in PIPELINE_ROOT (collected/), but the pattern variable here is still *.coffee. So it won't match anything.

I'm not sure if this is how it should work, (maybe for cache purposes?).

If you touch or modify those coffee files, do they get compiled again ?

[cyberdelia]

Any update on this ?

Sorry it took me long, got into a rush in other projects.

If I touch or modify the coffe files, the won't get updated. If I delete the collected/ directory, they are regenerated.

I updated to the latest django-pipeline version and it's still happening there.
