Capistrano 3 fails on assets:precompile

Question

I can't deploy my Rails 4 app with strange error on assets:precompile. It's seems like task can't use installed gems. In development and production environment on local machine all works perfectly. Part of deploy log:

I think that problem is in placing gems. First line of log telling me that all gems in /var/www/app/shared/bundle and it's truth — they are really there. But if I run rvm 2.2.0@gemset do gem list as deploy user I don't see installed gems in list:

deployer@server:/var/www/app/current$ rvm 2.2.0@gemset do gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bigdecimal (1.2.6)
bundler (1.8.4)
bundler-unload (1.0.2)

And when I run bundle from app's folder I can see a full list of installed gems:

Bundle complete! 39 Gemfile dependencies, 87 gems now installed.
Gems in the groups development and test were not installed.
Bundled gems are installed into /var/www/app/shared/bundle.

I use rvm for development and production in single-user mode and some my files here:

# deploy.rb
lock '3.2.1'

set :application, 'App'
set :repo_url, 'git@bitbucket.org:app/app.com.git'
set :deploy_to, '/var/www/app'

set :rvm_ruby_version, '2.2.0@gemset'
set :unicorn_env, 'production'
set :rails_env, :production

set :linked_dirs, %w{bin log tmp/pids tmp/cache tmp/sockets vendor/bundle public/system}
namespace :deploy do

    desc 'Restart application'
    task :restart do
        invoke 'unicorn:restart'
    end

    after :restart, :clear_cache do
        on roles(:web), in: :groups, limit: 3, wait: 10 do
        end
    end

after :publishing, :restart
end

Capfile

# Capfile
require 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/deploy'
require 'capistrano3/unicorn'
require 'whenever/capistrano'
require 'capistrano/rvm'
require 'capistrano/bundler'
require 'capistrano/rails'

Dir.glob('lib/capistrano/tasks/*.rake').each { |r| import r }

Front.css.scss set as precompiled in application.rb

# front.css.scss
@import "compass";
@import "compass/utilities/sprites";
@import "sprites/*.png";
@include all-sprites-sprites;
@import "breakpoint";
$breakpoint-tiny : 0 660px;

@import "static";

And for example static.css.scss:

/* static.css.scss */
.blog {
    @include sprites-sprite(blog-gray);
    &:hover {
        @include sprites-sprite(blog-color);
    }
}

If I remove all mixins from static.css.scss deploy will finished successfully.

Answer 1

I solved the problem, it wasn't related to capistrano or even rvm. I use two layouts for my app: front.html.slim and admin.html.slim, each with a dedicated stylesheet: front.css and admin.css.

In front.css.scss I was using the following (sass) syntax:

@import "compass";
@import "compass/utilities/sprites";

While admin.css.scss used Sprocket's syntax:

/*
 *= require base
 *= require posts
 *= require projects

The assets:precompile task finished successfully after I changed admin.css.scss to actual sass syntax:

 @import "base";
 @import "posts";
 @import "projects";

Thanx @RAJ for your advice.
