Compass Support

[darrenkopp]

Look into ways to embed compass files into package

[darrenkopp]

released in 0.7.7

OK, what do I have to write into "Include Paths" to make compass work?
I installed Ruby in "D:\Tools\Ruby200-x64".
Compass binary is in "D:\Tools\Ruby200-x64\bin".
Compass gem is in "D:\Tools\Ruby200-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\compass-0.12.2"

[darrenkopp]

Yeah, you want to add the path the the folder that includes _compass.scss so for you I would expect that to be

"D:\Tools\Ruby200-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0\gems\compass-0.12.2\frameworks\compass\stylesheets"

[darrenkopp]

Dang, looks like this won't work with libsass since compass uses custom ruby functions. Alright, give me a few more days and I'll see how I can add in support for invoking compass.

[okoetter]

OK, I don't really understand what you mean but I will wait patiently :-)

[darrenkopp]

Ok, in the latest version there's an option where you can put in the path to ruby, which for you is d:\tools\ruby200-x64. Once you put that in, should work. Let me know if you run into any issues, I don't have any compass projects to test against so i could only use the default compass project stuff (3 files).

[okoetter]

Works fine now, thanks a lot!

[darrenkopp]

😄 Sweet!

I get the following error: [SassCompileException]C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\compass-0.12.2\frameworks\compass\stylesheets/compass/typography/vertical_rhythm:1: error: file to import not found or unreadable: "compass/layout/grid-background"

_grid-background.scss and _vertical_rhythm.scss files are there, but I think it has something to do with forward/back slash combination in the path it's looking in.

[darrenkopp]

Yeah, I need to update the release notes. Remove the path to compass in the Compiler include paths and then put the c:\ruby193 into the Ruby install path under Compass in the settings and then you should be fine. NSass/libsass couldn't handle compass as I had originally thought.

[Untit1ed]

I have C:\Ruby193 in "Ruby Install Path" and C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\compass-0.12.2\frameworks\compass\stylesheets in "Include Path" sections.

So it looks like it actually picks up Compass, but the following reference gets messed up: @import "compass/layout/grid-background";

[darrenkopp]

@Untit1ed ok, the "Include path" won't matter in this case and you can clear it out. However, with that configuration it should be using compass and not nsass assuming that there is a config.rb file in the root of the project, which is what compass uses to determine the where to save things.

If it continues to use NSass, I would guess that there isn't a config.rb. Was this an existing compass project or something that you want to use compass for?

[Untit1ed]

Oh my bad, i'm not that familiar with compass, so there was no existing project. I just wanted to use some compass functionality and just used @import "compass"; in my existing SCSS files. NSass gives me file to import not found or unreadable: "compass" if I don't provide compass path. I'm going to look at that config.rb solution then. Thanks.

[darrenkopp]

yeah, unfortunately compass has some ruby specific extensions which break nsass. you can generate a project by doing compass create I think.

[Untit1ed]

Oh now I see, thanks for your help.

[darrenkopp]

No problem. I'm not really familiar with compass either, this is just what I learned while figuring out how to integrate with it 👍

[nicholasjgreen]

Cool man, thanks for putting this plugin together with compass support. It means I can get rid of another plugin which was just locking my computer up on every keypress while editing scss files. Nice work.
