Running Compass on Linux gives "no such file to load"

[Fredric Berling]

I recently moved my project from a Mac to a Linux server. Now i have trouble compiling the CSS with compass.

When in the "resources/scss/" directory i run the following command:


$ compass --update

Loading haml-edge gem.
LoadError on line 5 of /var/www/private/MVC/resources/scss/config.rb: no such file to load -- /var/www/private/MVC/resources/scss/../../lib/touch/resources/themes
Run with --trace to see the full backtrace
$

This is the line where to include the sencha framework. The ruby code for this in config.rb is:


# Load the sencha-touch framework automatically.
load File.join(dir, '..','..', 'lib', 'touch', 'resources', 'themes')

The "file" it does´s seem to find is actually a folder but do exist in that path
Any ideas about this?

hmmm, I have different config and results.

running sencha 1.0.1 on ubuntu 10.04


pwd:
/home/user/workspace/branch/iFinancials/media/sencha/resources/sass

config.rb:


# Get the directory that this configuration file exists in
dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)

# Load the sencha-touch framework automatically.
load File.join(dir, '..', 'themes')

# Compass configurations
sass_path = dir
css_path = File.join(dir, "..", "css")
environment = :production
output_style = :compressed

for application specific scss I have:

pwd:

/home/user/workspace/branch/iFinancials/resources/scss

config.rb:

sass_path = File.dirname(__FILE__)
css_path = File.join(sass_path,'..','..','media','css')
images_dir = File.join(sass_path,'..','..','media','sencha','resources','themes','images','default','pictos')
load File.join(sass_path,'..','..','media','sencha','resources','themes')

output_Style = :expanded
environemnt = :development

In order to get compass to work correctly for me I had to add it to the PATH or call it directly. To do this I added the following line to my .bash_aliases file:



alias compass='/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/compass'


this file is imported in my .bashrc

Also, I run

compass compile

compass --update gives the following error

You should make sure your compass is installed and up to date. try

compass --version
or

compass version

to make sure everything is installed correctly

P.S.
I apologize for the stream of consciousness posting :>

I'm working on this server with Fredric and I fixed this problem. In case anyone else gets this, the problem was that I installed an outdated version of Compass (0.8.17) from chriseppstein-compass that is incompatible with haml 3.0. Running

gem uninstall chriseppstein-compass
gem install compass

fixed the problem. See http://groups.google.com/group/compass-users/browse_thread/thread/6816d0f328031d64 .

gcallaghan, thanks for the help. Your posts were useful while I was troubleshooting this.
