Sass import error in Rails 3 app - “File to import not found or unreadable: compass”

Question

I have a Rails 3 app on which I successfully ran compass init rails ./ --using blueprint. I can @import files from the /stylesheets directory, but

Answer 1

Okay, after help from the amazing Chris Eppstein I was able to find the offending line. In config/environments.rb I had this line:

Sass::Plugin.options[:template_location] = {
"#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/stylesheets" => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/stylesheets"
}

With the currently versions of Rails (I have 3.0.7) and Compass (0.11.1) this line is not necessary. I added it after following a tutorial. If sass can't find compass, it might be because this line is messing up your Sass::Plugin.options[:template_location].

Answer 2

I fixed this problem by switching to the compass-rails gem instead of the compass gem in my Gemfile (don't forget to reboot your server). Just in case someone might come across here.

Answer 3

I fixed this error like this:

In application.rb I had

Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)  

and changed to

Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)

This was after updating a project from 3.0.3 to 3.2.13

Answer 4

I was getting this error.

I changed this line in my application.rb from:

Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)

to:

Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test))) if defined?(Bundler)

Also, make sure the files are names something.css.sass NOT something.sass

And one other thing, I had an old compass.rb file in my config directory which isn't needed in Rails 3.2. Deleting that also solved this problem for me.

Answer 5

I fixed this problem on my Rails 3.2.0 server by moving out gem 'compass-rails', '~> 1.0.1' from the :assets group in the Gemfile, from a tip in https://github.com/Compass/compass-rails/issues/19.

Answer 6

I fixed this error after banging my head over it

I commented this line in my application.rb from:

Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test))) if defined?(Bundler)

and uncommented:

Bundler.require(:default, :assets, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)    

I am using Rails 3.2.11
