How to clear Sprockets cache?

Question

When a Sprockets object compilation fails (due to a syntax error in CoffeeScript or SASS), it cannot recompile after the error is fixed because it says "file is already required."

In order to get the Sprockets object to work, I have to destroy and re-create it. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to tell the Sprocket object to internally reset itself as to not run into this issue.

Answer 1

rake tmp:cache:clear deletes the temporary cache directory.

Answer 2

In my case, the following command worked:

rake tmp:clear

Answer 3

It should be:

Rails.application.assets.cache.clear

but this method only in master branch and not even in beta.

Update: added in 4.0.0.beta5.
