How can I reset my asset pipeline in Rails?

Question

Such a strange problem, but I deployed to production, and it won't update with my new CSS changes because of a caching issue.

I tried this :

bundle exec rake assets:precompile

But that returns :

rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'assets:precompile'

Ah, so I must be missing the sprockets in my application.rb perhaps. I tried everything on this link : How to build task 'assets:precompile' . And every solution caused a load error for not finding the items that it pointed out.

What should I do?

Rails. 3.0.5

Rails 3.0.5 doesn't include the asset pipeline (at least not out of the box) — Frederick Cheung, Mar 17 '12 at 10:04
Depends on what you have - if it's just plain old css files then there is no cache (other than the fact that browsers will cache previously fetched files) — Frederick Cheung, Mar 17 '12 at 12:55
