Solution: https://github.com/rails/sass-rails/issues/381

Edit Gemfile.lock

...
gem 'thor', '3.6.3'
...

Then bundle update

Bundler attempted to update sprockets but its version regressed from 3.7.1 to 3.6.3
Bundle updated!
Expected string default value for '--rc'; got false (boolean)
Rails 4.2.7.1

Apparently this is because of a change in the thor gem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40881938/new-ruby-on-rails-setup-expected-string-default-value-for-rc-got-false

Robs-MBP:iplayred rl$ cat Gemfile.lock | grep thor
    railties (4.2.7.1)
      actionpack (= 4.2.7.1)
      activesupport (= 4.2.7.1)
      rake (>= 0.8.7)
      thor (>= 0.18.1, < 2.0)

Looks like I need to downgrade to 0.19.1.

Looks like your app's ./bin/rails is a stub that was generated by Bundler.

In Rails 4, your app's bin/ directory contains executables that are versioned
like any other source code, rather than stubs that are generated on demand.

Here's how to upgrade:

  bundle config --delete bin    # Turn off Bundler's stub generator
  rake rails:update:bin         # Use the new Rails 4 executables
  git add bin                   # Add bin/ to source control

You may need to remove bin/ from your .gitignore as well.

When you install a gem whose executable you want to use in your app,
generate it and add it to source control:

  bundle binstubs some-gem-name
  git add bin/new-executable

Rails 4.2.7.1
