Hi, I know that workbench has experimental support for compass include files. At the moment I am still using ruby to compile stylesheets. Has anyone successfully managed to use the compass css3 and image scss files using the mindscape compiler? I am still reliant on ruby. Is support for compass planned? I was going to wait for it to be released before purchasing, but went ahead anyway. Great product, but compass support would make a massive difference. I dare say there might be a few more customers waiting for compass support. Cheers Craig. |

Hi Craig, We're planning to make a fairly hefty release in ~2 weeks that includes first class Compass support (not just the simple stuff that's there now). If you're interested, it would be great to have you assist in testing (I can email you privately). It's not enabled by default in the nightly builds due to the significance of the change and not wanting to cause problems for people who rely on nightly builds for bug fixes. Let me know if you're keen to help! John-Daniel Trask |

Hi, We've included Compass in the latest nightly build and enabled it for all customers. There's still some work needed but we've love your feedback. Kind regards, John-Daniel Trask |

You can download the nightly build from your My Account page if you have a subscription or if you are using the free version then this will be included in the next gallery update.

When's the next gallery update coming? :-) |

We are aiming to have another gallery update out in the next week or two which will include the Compass features :)

Any idea on the exact date? Currently in the middle of a project and want to use a grid system that requires Compass...wondering if I need to install the gem, etc, or just wait for your support. :) |

|

Will be later today or tomorrow, we are currently getting things finished off for the update :)

awesome, just got the update. I noticed your getting started guide mentions that the sass files to be compiled by compass have to live in the "sass" folder...does WW not read this value from the config.rb file? Would be nice to have that customizable. |
|
|
|
|
No, for now its fixed to "sass" and "images" but we will look at updating WW to use the configuration values from config.rb in the near future.

Configurable paths are must-have to make compass usable for me as I don't like their project structure in my MVC projects. Another thing I noticed is that you put absolute path to "OutputFolder" element in csproj - this path must be relative to project path, otherwise it will break each time somebody else commits new version to source control. |
|

Completely agree; there are two other devs working on the same project and their dev machines (not to mention we all have our dev setups at home as well) have different configurations (different drive letters, different paths, etc) so having the OutputFolder generate absolute links instead of the relative paths the UI seems to use is quite destructive. Additionally, would love to use Compass but not a fan of having no control over where the folders are placed; call me a control freak but I want to make sure my project follows a very particular structure. |

Thanks for the feedback! I have switched this to always store relative paths in the settings and this is now available in the nightly builds.
