Does compass-rails support Ruby on Rails 4.0?

Question

I have clean new Rails 4 app with Gemfile:

#default gems
gem 'compass-rails'
gem 'zurb-foundation'
gem 'thin'

with style.scss:

@import "compass";
@import "foundation/variables";
$red: rgb(255,0,1);
$green: rgb(51,153,50);
$body-bg: #F4F4F4;
$body-font-color: #7B7B7B;
$primary-color: #999;
$secondary-color: #0CC;
$dark-color: #393939;
$block-container-border-color: rgb(218,218,218);
$block-container-shadow-color: rgb(208,208,208);
// main background
html{
  background:image-url('bckg.jpg');
}
body{
  width:1000px;
  margin:0 auto;
  @include box-shadow(0px 0px 32px -5px #000);
}

And I have this error:

Showing /Users/quatermain/Projects/rails40/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #18 raised:

Is Rails 4 not currently supported by compass-rails?

I'm also attempting to create a new rails 4 application with compass-rails and Foundation, and am having no luck. I can't find any evidence that compass-rails does support rails 4 yet, but I can't find any documentation of the contrary either.. — Will, Jun 30 '13 at 01:49
I'm the new maintainer of compass-rails. The compass-rails 1.1.x series of gems works on Rails 4. It wasn't getting much attention for a while and people started using unofficial forks to get Rails 4 support. I can assure you that going forward I'll be responsive to issues and continue to release support for upcoming version of Compass and Rails so compass-rails will be as seamless an experience as possible. — craigmcnamara, Dec 13 '13 at 21:11

~~Compass needs to have some key parts rewritten in order to support Rails 4. There is a temporary branch you can use that has hacked together some support:~~

'gem "compass-rails", github: "milgner/compass-rails", ref: "1749c06f15dc4b058427e7969810457213647fb8"

You can follow https://github.com/Compass/compass-rails/pull/59 for the latest updates.

Update:

~~There is now a version in alpha.~~

gem "compass-rails", "~> 2.0.alpha.0"

Update 2: compass-rails is no longer in alpha.

Add the following to your Gemfile and type bundle install.

gem "compass-rails", "~> 1.1.2"

It's a real bummer that such a widely used gem is getting neglected like this. Hopefully official support will be available soon. – OneChillDude Aug 12 '13 at 05:34
The milgner/compass-rails repository has gone now – opsb Oct 08 '13 at 21:22

Yes, people should be using the alpha as I indicated. I'll cross out the old section. – sunnyrjuneja Oct 09 '13 at 00:12

The 2.0.alpha.0 gem has now been yanked, for some reason, breaking our deploy process. Anyone know what's going on? – Michiel de Mare Dec 09 '13 at 11:37

See my answer below. Just use the stable branch (no version string) in your Gemfile and run `bundle update`. – armchairdj Dec 09 '13 at 18:40

I ended up using the alpha version suggested by Sunny Juneja.

But to make it work I had to remove the assets group from my gemfile:

# Not working:
group :assets do       # remove me olde line
   gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 4.0.0'
   gem 'compass-rails' # specify me version
end                    # remove me too, says aye

# Working:
gem 'sass-rails',    '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'compass-rails', '~> 2.0.alpha.0'

This is because in Rails 4 support for group assets was dropped. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16406204/why-did-rails4-drop-support-for-assets-group-in-the-gemfile – sunnyrjuneja Sep 20 '13 at 20:55

As of about 18 hours ago, the stable branch of compass-rails supports Rails 4. Remove the version string "2.0.alpha.0" from compass-rails in your Gemfile and run bundle update.

Here's the commit history:

It appears that as of this time (06/29/2013) compass-rails does not support Rails 4. When I run

rails generate foundation:install

I get the error message below.

Unsupported rails environment for compass

Wrong. compass-rails *does* support Rails 5 or later – Zachary Dahan Dec 10 '16 at 18:32

I added all of the compass files to my vendor folder and it worked =), this may not be the preferable option for much longer =(.

Sunny Juneja solution is working, so you do not need using "vendor" – quatermain Aug 26 '13 at 09:24

Try this:

gem 'sass-rails'
gem 'compass-rails', github: 'Compass/compass-rails'

You should also make sure these are NOT included inside your asset group, since it has been removed from Rails 4.0.

Then remove your Gemfile.lock file and regenerate it using the bundle command.

rm Gemfile.lock
bundle
