Rails 4.1.1 - Sass::SyntaxError - File to import not found or unreadable: compass.

[andywenk]

Hi,
we can't get compass-rails work within the following setup:

Gemfile:

gem 'rails', '4.1.1'

group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails'
  gem 'compass-rails'

app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss

/*
 *= require_self
 */

@import "compass";

Stacktrace: https://friendpaste.com/3fk7mgOiStKrV27vzNSURR

The basic error message is:

Sass::SyntaxError - File to import not found or unreadable: compass.

Wether I do sth. completely wrong or I do have a misunderstanding for @import 'compass'; in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss.

Any info is highly appreciated :)

Cheers

Andy

Probably related to #155

I found that the following works:

gem 'compass-rails', '~> 1.1.7'
gem 'sass-rails'

Outside of the assets group.

Which by me installs the following versions:

compass (0.12.6)
compass-rails (1.1.7)
sass (3.2.19)
sass-rails (4.0.3)

Moving compass-rails out of the assets group worked for me.

The solution from @Silex worked for me. Besides compass-rails i also had to move sass-rails out of the assets group.

Actually Rails 4 does not have assets group as far as I know

@bodrovis You are right. Tried many versions, but nothing worked. Any solution???

See sass/sassc-rails#19 (comment) for a temporary fix, it worked for me.

Try this:

gem 'sass-rails'
gem 'compass-rails', github: 'Compass/compass-rails

You should also make sure these gems are NOT included inside your asset group, since it has been removed from Rails 4.0

Then remove your gemfile.lock file and regenerate it using the bundle command.

I did the exact following solutions, still have the "File import not found or unreadable: compass." error.

Here's the Gemfile :

gem 'sass-rails'
gem 'compass-rails', github: 'Compass/compass-rails'

I'm using Rails 5

I had the same problem
sass::syntaxerror: file to import not found or unreadable: config/variables.
, I opened a new css file (I called it custom.css) then copied all the css to the file. On application.css I removed the

@import "config/variables" plus all the other @imports

This worked for me, I hope it does work for you too!
