Any idea what’s going on here?

Answer 1

it’s a bug in Haml 3.0.7. You can see it http://github.com/nex3/haml/issues#issue/186

So you can add in your bundler :

gem 'actionpack', :require => 'action_pack'

Or you can wait the next release of Haml.

Update: The next release is now out, it’s the 3.0.8. It’s fix this problem.
