Setting up Compass in PhpStorm


There's a few posts about this on here, but I couldn't find any for the latest PHPStorm version that claims to support Compass.

So from my project root I have:

/public/assets/css

/public/assets/scss

/public/assets/config.rb

which contains:

http_path = "/"
css_dir = "css"
sass_dir = "scss"
images_dir = "img"
javascripts_dir = "js"

My compass executable is set to: /usr/bin/compass and the config path is set to: path-to-project/public/assets/config.rb

I've also set up PhpStorm to compile the scss files into the /public/assets/css folder

In one scss file I have

@import "compass";

and I get this error:

/usr/bin/compass compile /private/var/virt/budget-forklifts/public/assets compile /private/var/virt/budget-forklifts/public/assets/scss
You must compile individual stylesheets from the project directory.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?


Solution

  • Figured this out if others have this same issue:

    You just have to disable your scss file watcher when you enable the compass scss one. I guess they both run at once and get confused.
