sass-rails: Stack level too deep error in 3.1.5

Hi,

I’m not sure which mix of gems triggers the problem, but downgrading from 3.1.5 to 3.1.4 fixes it. Here’s list of relevant gems, and a stack trace:

Gemfile

gem 'rails', '3.1.3'
gem 'bson', '1.4.0'
gem 'bson_ext', '1.4.0'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'eco'

group :assets do
  gem "compass", :git => "git://github.com/chriseppstein/compass.git", :tag => "v0.12.alpha.2"
  gem 'sass-rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/sass-rails.git', :branch => '3-1-stable'
  gem 'coffee-rails', "~> 3.1.0"
  gem 'uglifier'
  gem 'oily_png'
end

Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile

Additional note: If I tinker with the stylesheet that has causes the error, it’ll simply appear in another stylesheet. Again, downgrading to 3.1.4 appears to fix it.

@jipiboily, @nat, @jfeldstein You can now switch to the latest rails version (3.2.8) and the latest sass-rails (3.2.5) safely but with a single hiccup.

You will go from the previous

rake aborted! stack level too deep

to the new error

rake aborted! could not connect to server:
Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and
accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432`.

This issue is mentioned here https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/issues/474 and is easily fixed with this single line of code on config/application.rb:

config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
