Error when compiling CoffeeScript

[davidphilip]

Below you'll see what I get as a response when I try to compile my *.coffee files via basset:build. When I run it with coffee command from CLI compilation works.

Here are the 2 scenarios I tested:

WITH COFFEE-SCRIPT MODULE INSTALLED @ APP-ROOT/NODE_MODULES

In this case the build process finishes but coffee-files aren't compiled at all.

WITH GLOBALLY INSTALLED COFFEE-SCRIPT MODULE

Yeah in this case some Assetic-Exception is thrown when the coffee.bin is executed / or read in. I don't know if this is even intended to work :).

I'm not sure if this is an issue because I can't really find anything about a fix so usually this is a good indicator that it's my fault :D. Anyways I'd be grateful if someone or even you @jasonlewis, could help me out here!

Best regards,

I was able to fix this by defining the exact path to the coffee executable in my case that was:

$filter->whenAssetIs('.*\.coffee')->setArguments(base_path().'/node_modules/.bin/coffee');
