Javascript in Yii2 AssetBundle is not published on update

Question

I have a quite simple AssetBundle:

use yii\web\AssetBundle;

/**
 * ImagizerAsset
 */
class ImagizerAsset extends AssetBundle
{
    public $sourcePath = '@app/components/widgets/imagizer/assets';

    public $css = [
        'css/imagizer.css'
    ];

    public $js = [
        'js/imagizer.js',
    ];

    public $depends = [
        'app\assets\BowerCropperAsset'
    ];
}

If I change the JavaScript in the bundle, it is not published to the web/asset directory in development mode. I must remove the web/asset directory every time to have an up to date version in it. It is very annoying. What should I do?

It's already answered here.

Add this to your asset bundle:

public $publishOptions = [
    'forceCopy' => YII_DEBUG,
];

For more options and detailed explanation look at linked answer.

I woud advise linking this to the environment, you really don't want it to be done every time. `'forceCopy' => YII_ENV === 'dev'` and you always forget to comment those out when you commit... – Blizz Jun 05 '15 at 09:54
@Blizz It's mentioned in linked answer. – arogachev Jun 05 '15 at 10:39
