I'm using Spree, which has a sort of wonky extension system and I couldn't get the standard compass install to compile at page load so I just threw in a watcher script to save myself the time of trying to figure out how to make compass play well with the extensions.
Basically (if you're not familiar with Spree) I'm developing an extension that lives in RAILS_ROOT/vendor/extension/blah along with a couple other ones, and ideally compass would be watching the sass dir of each extension. Looking at the config documentation you linked to it appears that the sass_dir must be a string. I should probably move this discussion to the Spree list; they probably already solved this issue and I just haven't been able to find it. Thanks for all you help btw. -Ryan On Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Chris Eppstein <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm also confused.
