Failed to generate application.
Message: Could not run the refinerycms generator successfully.
Exiting...

Try locking 'refinerycms-generators' to 1.0.0:

gem 'refinerycms-generators', '= 1.0.0'

Fixed it for me, as the new 1.0.1 breaks this generator.

Do you mean after running the "refinerycms" generator and it fails, I change this in gemfile and run bundle, then run "rails g refinerycms"?

Correct!

Exact steps:
In Gemfile insert the line from my last comment
run "bundle"
run "rails g refinerycms"

That worked for me.

Besides, I added an issue on github for this problem: https://github.com/resolve/refinerycms-generators/issues/#issue/12

same issue here on ruby 1.9.2 / rails 3.0.5

To fix this I had to:
add gem 'refinerycms-generators', '= 1.0.0' to gemfile
run bundle update refinerycms-generators
run bundle
