Thanks for the info! This was driving me nuts..

Bit late to the party, but changing upload to top.upload works perfectly here... i.e. to ensure it references the upload method from the correct namespace.

A life save, thanks ;-)

Thanks a lot. Made me mad for 15 minutes but after reading this gist it is a relief.

This helped me too. It was working perfectly until I refactored my local asset precompile task out to a Capistrano recipes gem. Using top.upload fixed the issue.
