I am following the manual Agile Web Development with Rails 4th edition and I have a problem with sprocket css in rails 3.1.

The code css is:

http://media.pragprog.com/titles/rails4/code/rails31/depot_e/app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss

If I modify the css code of app/assets/stylesheets/aplication.css.scss I catch the next error:

Sprockets::CircularDependencyError in Store#index

Showing /home/ubuntu/Desktop/Depot/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #5 raised:

/home/ubuntu/Desktop/Depot/app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss has already been required
Extracted source (around line #5):

2: <html>
3: <head>
4:   <title>Pragprog Books Online Store</title>
5: <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
6: <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
7: <%= csrf_meta_tag %>
8: </head>
Rails.root: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/Depot

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:5:in`_app_views_layouts_application_html_erb___1008723970_81658620'

I dont understand why if I modify a margin value or a padding value in aplication.css.scss for example I get this error.

Thank you very much.

You should remove app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.
