Rails3 and Sass::Plugin::options

Question

When I try to add "Sass::Plugin.options[:style] = :compact" to environment.rb I get "uninitialized constant Sass (NameError)" when I try to start up my server. I have added "gem 'haml', '3.0.0'" to my Gemfile.

Anybody ran into this?

Answer 1

I tried what you described and it worked fine for me. I'm using haml 3.0.4 which is the latest version. You may want to run a gem update haml on your system and try again. The list of changes from 3.0.0 to 3.0.4 are at http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_CHANGELOG.html

I also suggest not putting this in your environment.rb, but instead create a config/initializers/sass_config.rb file and put your SASS config there. Mine looks like this:

Sass::Plugin.options[:property_syntax] = :old
Sass::Plugin.remove_template_location("./public/stylesheets/sass")
Sass::Plugin.add_template_location("./app/stylesheets")

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem, and using the sass_config.rb file worked for my case - it seems the calls in environment.rb are occurring before the plugin init.rb is loaded.
