compass-sass

I'm having a problem with my compass watch command - it worked fine up until a few days ago. I have made no changes to my config files. I reinstalled Compass, used rvm to update Ruby. I checked my custom_require.rb file but I really don't know what to look for. It seems to be trying to load the file "sass/script/node" somewhere and from http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/Sass/Script/Node.html I gather the filepath - but I have nothing there. /Users/sampurcell/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:60:in `require': cannot load such file -- sass/script/node

By default SASS looks at the filename and determines whether to make a css file out of it. I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening. We're building a large website and lots of front-end developers are editing the css, but we only have one dev server. Sure some things you can see happen locally, but often you can only see the real rendered way on the server. So, when I push my compiled css file to the server, my co-workers' css gets clobbered until s/he commits and I do an svn:update, etc, etc. However, if we were working in different SASS file, and those css files were

I have a couple of scss selectors where I use the same amount positive and negative, as in: padding: 0 15px 15px; margin: 0 -15px 20px -15px; I'd prefer to use a variable for all the 15px amounts, but this does not work: $pad: 15px; padding: 0 $pad $pad; margin: 0 -$pad 20px -$pad; The margin amounts convert to positive numbers. Am I missing something? Try it like this margin: 0 (-$pad) 20px (-$pad); A more sane solution according to sass guidelines would be to interpolate variables like the following example: margin: 0 -#{$pad} 20px -#{$pad}; An example: https://www.sassmeister.com/gist
