Fails to load compass about silverstripe-widgets HOT 9 CLOSED

Yup. It was the file watcher; even though I eventually disable it, it initially tries to compile everything and so outputs garbled css for the module...Thanks :)

You need to install compass locally when you install sass.

See https://github.com/BetterBrief/vagrant-skeleton/blob/master/scripts/sass.sh for what's needed

Oh, I thought there was a move away from compass...in any case, shouldn't widgets just work out of the box after being installed with composer and enabled in a yml file, without needing sass or compass ?

from silverstripe-widgets.

They do- compass is for compiling the sass source into CSS (which gets used by the module)

Right, so only the css, not the sass or compass, is needed to run the module. Understood. But, after only doing a composer require on blog, widgets, and comments, and enabling them in config.yml, I get the following error when creating a new blog:

I thought it might be due to having an scss file watcher active in PHPStorm but the error occurs even after turning this off.

So, I installed comments, widgets, and blog in a fresh instance of SS3.6.1 and this problem doesn't arise! Very strange. I'll re-build the site above in this fresh install and see if I can reproduce the error :\

are you using sass in your current project? I'm not sure how or why it would be trying to build the widget module css even if you were :/

from silverstripe-widgets.

Yes, I'm using scss but not compass. Yes, weird that SS is trying to compile the scss. I'll reassemble the site and see if the problem returns...

Are you using a "watcher" or a silverstripe-sass module that is being overly aggressive with it's css compilation (ie: it's compiling CSS in all modules rather than just your project/theme)?

from silverstripe-widgets.

I had a scss file watcher and a linter active in PHPStorm. I turned them off and still got the same error. I am only using SS3.6.1 plus blog, comments, and widgets modules. I'll try this again tomorrow. Thanks for considering this wee conundrum :)
