Running into gems error on Rails 4

I'm relatively new to Rails, and I'm trying to create a basic spree app using Rails 4.0. I recently tried to install an extension (spree_fancy) for my store, and while running the bundle exec rails g spree_fancy:install command, I keep seeing this message:

Unsupported rails environment for compass.

Before installing the extension, I could see my app load on local, but now I'm met with:

NoMethodError

and:

undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass

I'm assuming this error is caused by spree_fancy. Is there a way to fix this? If not, how would I go about removing the spree_fancy gem? I removed it from the Gemfile, ran gem uninstall spree_fancy, and reinstalled my bundle, but this did not seem to do the trick.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Based on the Unsupported rails environment for compass. error, this sounds like an issue with compass and Rails 4.

Use a version of compass-rails that's compatible with Rails 4 by changing the gem 'compass-rails' line in your Gemfile to:

gem 'compass-rails', github: 'milgner/compass-rails', branch: 'rails4'

I'm not sure if spree_fancy, itself, is compatible with Rails 4, so you might want to check out Ready for Rails 4? to see if gems that you're using are compatible with Rails 4.

The current released version of Spree does not support rails 4. There is a branch of Spree which supports Rails 4 which you can read more about at this Spree Rails 4 Blog Post.

I don't believe that spree_fancy currently supports Rails 4, as it relies on Compass which does not support Rails 4. There are a couple of branches which support rails 4, but spree_fancy isn't configured to use them.

Short version: Spree on Rails 4 isn't ready for prime time quite yet. If you're new to rails, you should stick to 3.2.x for Spree. Spree on Rails 4 will be ready in a few months, and you can upgrade then.
