How to clear Sprockets cache?

sprockets

When a Sprockets object compilation fails (due to a syntax error in CoffeeScript or SASS), it cannot recompile after the error is fixed because it says "file is already required."

In order to get the Sprockets object to work, I have to destroy and re-create it. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to tell the Sprocket object to internally reset itself as to not run into this issue.
