How to compile your CSS/JS and keep sprockets from concatenating the files?

So we have an app made with rails that we are we are deploying to Heroku. We have been having very odd CSS, JS issues on the heroku build of our app. The CSS and JS are being put into one file when compiled. Is there any way to keep sprockets from concatenating my CSS and maybe even JS files, but still compile? Thanks

Sprockets concatenates all JavaScript files into one master .js file and all CSS files into one master .css file.

Yes, you can individually compile your assets by

1) Adding each individual file to you the Rails.application.config.assets.precompile array

2) Referencing each JS/CSS file with a javascript_include_tag or stylesheet_link_tag

3) Removing the sprocket references in you application.js & application.css files

Ultimately, you'll be going against best practice of providing a single, larger, JS/CSS files (slower load time), and this will be more difficult to maintain.

Alternatively, I'd suggest you sort out the issues you mentioned by correcting your load order within your application.js/css files such that they can be concatenated correctly without errors.
