Deploying on a server without bower

[christheyounger]

My host doesn't have node.js. I simply dump assets locally (where i have node, bower, grunt, etc) and push the finished product up (a combined and minified js file).

I thought it would work well to push up only the compiled, minified js file to the production server where only the production version of Symfony is executed - except that when I run the application on the production server - I get a 503, because the source js / css files were not found.

{% javascripts output="js/scripts.min.js" filter="?uglifyjs"
'@MyBundle/Resources/src/js/jquery.js'
'@MyBundle/Resources/src/js/bootstrap.js'
'@MyBundle/Resources/src/js/site.js' %}
<script src="{{asset_url}}"></script>
{% endjavascripts %}

In the end I've had to also upload all the source files so that Symfony can check that they are there, and then ignore them and use the compiled version.

Am I going about this the wrong way? Or does this whole methodology need more thought?

There are currently some downsides on how the location for the cache is generated. I will change this in a future release, but currently you will need bower on the production server as well.

Well, actually you only need the source files and the compiled files on the
server as far as I can tell. My guess is that assetic does some kind of
hash or something and sees that the finished product is valid.
