Uglify JavaScript code with Sprockets

My project was builded in Rails 2 and was upgraded to Rails 3.1, so I'm having troubles with the assets pipeline configuration, such as precompile.

I'm using app/assets/aplication.js like: 

//= require jquery 
//= require jquery_ujs

My application.rb is: 

config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier

My Gemfile contains uglifier gem: 

gem 'uglifier'

After that I performed: 

rake assets:precompile

and the result code from public/assets/application.js isn't uglified, but when I put this configuration on application.rb: 

config.assets.compress = true

the file is uglified.

Isn't the config.assets.compress configuration used for live compilation? Why does my precompile rake only uglify with this option enabled?

Compressing is uglifying. If you don't have that option, then compressing/uglifying doesn't happen. If you want uglifying to happen, enable that option.
