Compass Not Creating CSS Files

When I run compass compile, the operation runs successfully, but no CSS files are created in my CSS directory. This is my folder structure:

css
images
src
 -config.rb
 -screen.scss
 -overrides.css

And my config.rb file:

http_path = "./"
css_dir = "../css"
sass_dir = "./"
images_dir = "../images"
javascripts_dir = "../javascripts"
line_comments = false
  • compass v1.1.0.alpha.3
  • sass v3.4.22
  • sass-rails v5.0.4
  • ruby v2.1.1p76
Solution

  • The problem should be with the directories you've specified for your assets i.e css_dir, sass_dir, images_dir and javascripts_dir

    The values for the directories are all relative to the http-path.

    With the current value for the css_dir in your code, Compass should be generating the css outside your project folder. You paths should look more like

    http_path = '/'
css_dir = 'css'
sass_dir = 'sass' // I suggest you create a folder for all your sass files
images_dir = 'images'
javascripts_dir = 'javascripts'
