I'm having trouble generating the html files using guard-haml

[Tsegaselassie Tadesse]

I need help configuring guard-haml properly. I'm working with a plain haml files and I want to generate the html file. I've added the following in my guard file

guard 'haml', :run_at_start => true, :notifications => true do
  #watch(/^.+(\.html\.haml)/)
  watch(/^.+\.html\.haml$/)
end

I've tried to run haml index.haml in the terminal and I see it generates the html but it doesn't save on disk. What could be the problem?

You should run $ guard command to use guard-haml.
It will watch to your haml file changes and compile it to html on every save.

[Tsegaselassie Tadesse]

I understand that you need to run $ guard once you have Guardfile setup but the file changes are not happening. I use guard-sass and it works fine but guard-haml is not working.

[Nick Kugaevsky]

Does it works with default file regexp watch(/^.+(\.html\.haml)/)?
Does guard displays any error messages in console on haml file save?

[Tsegaselassie Tadesse]

I've tried the default regexp but it doesn't work. There are no errors.

haml index.haml index.html 

generates the html correctly.

That's really weird. I can't suppose anything else.
Can you push your project to public repo so I can take a closer look?

PS What ruby installed in your environment?

Hi Kugaevsky,

$ruby -v gives me:

$gem list --local

Gosh! I've found a problem. Just rename your haml file to index.html.haml.
That's all.

It works! Thanks for the help Kugaevsky.
