Compass won't start, Gemfile not found (Bundler::GemfileNotFound)

[tjbarber]

output of STDOUT when running compass: https://ghostbin.com/paste/nc6r4

I've encountered this on new installations of both Ubuntu 13.04 and Mac OS X 10.9 with installations of RVM and Ruby 2.0.0-p247.

A temporary fix for anyone else having this issue is to install rubygems-bundler version 0.9.2 and make sure any newer versions are uninstalled. It would probably work with a version a bit newer (found 0.9.2 being used here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10610254/cant-install-compass-via-rvm) but something in 1.4.1 breaks compass badly.

I have same problem. Installing rubygems-bundler 0.9.2 did not work for me.

It's working for me, so try this: switch to your global gem set

rvm ruby-2.0.0-p247@global

If rubygems-bundler is installed in global, uninstall it and then switch back to the local gemset. Here's my gem list on my local install: http://d.pr/n/TBiQ

Had the same problem, and removing rubygems-bundler 1.4.1 did solve it. Even if it's only a temporary fix, a fix is still a fix. So thanks!

Same problem here. Taking a look at the backtrace, the "faulty" line(s) are these, from bin/compass:

if defined?(Bundler)
    require 'bundler/shared_helpers'
    Bundler.require :assets if Bundler::SharedHelpers.in_bundle?
end

Bundler::SharedHelpers.in_bundle? apparently returnes a false positive. Executing in_bundle? in irb in the working directory where I'm trying to run compass yields nil, which seems okay. I'm assuming that, instead of looking at the working directory where I'm running compass, it somehow looks for a bundle relative to bin/compass, but then loads bundler in my current working directory (just guessing though).

tl;dr: Removing the Bundler.require line makes compass run flawlessly 😄 (Thanks for making compass!)
