Answer 1

I had the same problem today. I solved it by adding the following line to my project's Gemfile:

gem 'compass', '~> 0.12.7'

Apparently there is some kind of bug in compass 1.0.1, and assets won't precompile. This line forces the version of compass to be 0.12.x, so add this in, run

bundle update
bundle install

... and you should be good to go.
