Capistrano fails when precompiling a Rails 3.2 app with Foundation 4.0

Question

I am using Capistrano to deploy. My Rails 3.2.13 App uses Zurb Foundation 4.0. The relevant part of my Gemfile is

group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails', "  ~> 3.2.3"
  gem 'coffee-rails', "~> 3.2.1"
  gem 'uglifier', '>=1.0.3'
  gem 'compass-rails'
  gem 'zurb-foundation'
end

My aplication.css.scss includes

/*
*= require_self
*= require foundation_and_overrides
*/

I am getting an error when the deployment script attempts to pre-compile:

   triggering after callbacks for `deploy:update_code'
  * 2013-07-07 23:58:09 executing `deploy:assets:precompile'

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

I think that in case of usind the gem zurb-foundation you should issue rails g foundation:install command, which handles stylesheets inclusion. You do not need to include anything in your manifest file application.css. You should include foundation in the other manifest file - application.js like this:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require foundation
//= require_tree .

$(function(){ $(document).foundation(); });
