Rails3: jquery-rails gem sets 'config.action_view.javascript_expansions' but cannot be overriden in

Hello,

I’ve created a new Rails3 app and I’m using jQuery instead of prototype.

Gemfile:
gem ‘jquery-rails’

in my config/application.rb I want do the following:

config/application.rb
if Rails.env.production?
config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] = %w(jquery.min
rails application)
else
config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] = %w(jquery
rails
application)
end

So in production I want to include jquery.min whereas in development I
want
the unminified (jquery).

But this seems not to work and when I look at the jquery-rails railtie,
I
see the following code:

module Jquery
module Rails
class Railtie < ::Rails::Railtie
config.before_initialize do
if
::Rails.root.join(“public/javascripts/jquery-ui.min.js”).exist?
config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] =
%w(jquery.min jquery-ui.min rails)
else
config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] =
%w(jquery.min rails)
end
end
end
end
end

This sets the config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] to
always use jquery.min. So it seems to me that the code from my app
(config/application.rb) isn’t applied. Although this should be
possible to do.

Is this expected behavior? Shouldn’t it be possible to override the
expansions in your own application?

TIA
