My teams use development environments powered by Vagrant, which I highly recommend. This however requires we either maintain or manage a variety of recipes/cookbooks, or that we bootstrap our dev virtual machines identically. I generally prefer the latter to avoid issues with connecting to Chef that have burned me in the past, or just general third-party woes. Bootstrapping an app then requires some scripting to properly setup Ruby and thereby Compass and Sass gems which we use for compiling our assets.
That being said, we’ve chosen to use RVM instead of rbenv or any of the alternatives just because it suits us best. I’m not evangelical one way or the other.
We’ve essentially taken this superb guide from AJ ONeal and made a crisp little bash script. Finally, the meat of the script. We put this in every bootstrap script to setup the basics of ruby/compass/sass:
