Scaffolding Compass Error When Compiling SASS
Hey guys, so I’ve been using SASS and Compass for a while now in my projects and I love them both. I can go on for hours about why I love working with SASS and how using it has made coding my projects easier, but, this article is about something different.
I made a switch not too long ago in which responsive WordPress starter template I use when building my websites. I used to use Bones and I now switched to a more refined version of Bones called Scaffolding (click on the names to download them). I downloaded a fresh version of Scaffolding and ran my SASS commands and I came across this weird error when I was trying to compile my SASS files into CSS files.
error includes/_typography.scss (Line 11: File to import not found or unreadable: compass.
I was pretty surprised there was an error right out of the box. Seeing it unlikely that they would release their template with an error that large I hit Google to see if anyone else came across the same issue I was having. Unfortunately I came up empty handed. I tried everything I could think of to fix the issue and nothing seemed to work. I tried installing different versions of SASS and Compass. That didn’t work. I even downloaded Scout to compile my SASS files instead of using the Terminal. I still got the same error.
The fix was actually easier than I thought. I uninstalled both Compass and SASS and then reinstalled Compass and let Compass instal the correct version of SASS for me. Here are the steps I used to resolve the error.
sudo gem uninstall compasssudo gem uninstall sasssudo gem install compass
I use a mac so I had to use the sudo element. Make sure when you are uninstalling SASS and Compass that you uninstall all versions of them. That should fix your problem!
