Trouble Installing Using Compass
christiantype opened this issue · comments
I am following the instructions below but can't seem to figure out the “compass config” part.
Compass
Terminal: gem install modular-scale
Compass config: require 'modular-scale'
SCSS: @import 'modular-scale';
@christiantype What problems are you running into? Do you not have a config.rb file in your project?
Hi,
So I followed the instructions and did gem install modular-scale which was successful. I have the config.rb file in my project folder and I included require 'modular-scale'
After this, I'm not sure what steps I should take.
Thanks for your reply
@christiantype From here on out you can just put @import 'modular-scale'; in any .scss file and modular scale will be available to you. Is that not working?
This is what's currently in my config.rb file which is located in a config folder.
`require 'compass/import-once/activate'
Require any additional compass plugins here.
Set this to the root of your project when deployed:
http_path = "/"
css_dir = "stylesheets"
sass_dir = "sass"
images_dir = "images"
javascripts_dir = "javascripts"
require 'modular-scale'
You can select your preferred output style here (can be overridden via the command line):
output_style = :expanded or :nested or :compact or :compressed
To enable relative paths to assets via compass helper functions. Uncomment:
relative_assets = true
To disable debugging comments that display the original location of your selectors. Uncomment:
line_comments = false
If you prefer the indented syntax, you might want to regenerate this
project again passing --syntax sass, or you can uncomment this:
preferred_syntax = :sass
and then run:
sass-convert -R --from scss --to sass sass scss && rm -rf sass && mv scss sass
`
this is what's in my scss file which is in a scss folder.
`
/* =============== IMPORTS =============== */
@import "../libraries/bourbon/_bourbon.scss";
@import "../libraries/neat/_neat.scss";
@import 'modular-scale';
`
@christiantype Are you seeing any errors in your console?
No. Should I be doing a compass watch?
@christiantype Yes, it appears you have installed everything properly.
I added my project to github
https://github.com/christiantype/christiansolorzano.com
@christiantype ok… again, your project appears to be set up fine. Please run compass watch on it and let me know what errors you see when using modular scale.
`Christians-MacBook-Pro:config christians$ compass watch
Compass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to Stop.
`
No error messages 😕
@christiantype What exactly is the problem you are having? Again, everything you have posted indicates everything is working fine and is installed properly. Is the ms() function not working? When you try to use the plugin what happens that indicates to you that it is broken?
Well, when I add the @import 'modular-scale'; I receive get
error scss/style.scss (Line 5: File to import not found or unreadable: modular-scale.)
@christiantype Now that’s an error we can work with.
What command did you use to install modular scale with? Did you add sudo at the beginning? Are you using http://bundler.io/ or RVM?
I didn't do sudo at the beginning — just gem install modular scale.
I don't believe I am using Bundler or RVM.
@christiantype what did the console say after you ran gem install modular scale ?
You know, I just noticed that I was typing gem install modular-scale with a hyphen instead of a space. I'm not sure if that makes a difference but I just typed it again using gem install modular scale with a space, and I got this:

@christiantype Should work after this install runs, let me know if it works.
Okay, so I guess the issue was that hyphen I was typing.
I noticed that in my config folder, a css folder appeared with style.css inside but still no modular scale
@christiantype Are you seeing an error? I need to know what is wrong so I can help?
error scss/style.scss (Line 5: File to import not found or unreadable: modular-scale.)
@christiantype what does gem list modular-scale return in your terminal?
^CChristians-MacBook-Pro:cc christians$ gem list modular-scale
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
modular-scale (2.1.1)
oof, yeah, so it’s installed which means there is something else wrong. I noticed your config isn’t in the root of your project, how did you set up your compass project to point to the config there?
When I did compass config, it automatically placed config.rb, in that folder. Will it make a difference if I place it in the root of the project?
@christiantype I downloaded your repo and wasn’t able to replicate your error. I managed to get everything working but it looks like you have a typo in that your config file has the sass directory as sass but in your project it’s scss.
@christiantype I’m gonna cut out for the night. To recap, I was able to get everything working in your project by following the install steps and by fixing a typo in the config file.
Okay, I'll keep trying to see what's the issue. Thanks for all your time and help. I appreciate it.
Made of video of what I am doing to install.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jc3Lpeka-I&feature=youtu.be
@christiantype Looks like you are typoing the install again in that video by using a space instead of a hyphen. That install the gems modular and scale, neither of which are this gem.
Also, we have already confirmed that you have installed modular-scale correctly with gem list modular-scale. Your stylesheets are compiling without error as they should. Can you point me to an error message that indicates this is not working?
I wasn't receiving any error message, I simply wasn't seeing the modular-scale.scss file appearing in my project.
I just went ahead and installed it using Bower and that seemed to work fine.
Sorry for all the questions — I'm new to designing for the web.
@christiantype the file won’t show up via an install with Compass because it uses a load path internal to Compass instead of copying a file into your project. Anyway, glad you’re up and running now.
