Question

After upgrading to rails 3.2 I’m getting this error on rake assets:precompile

Invalid CSS after "*": expected "{", was "html .fileinput..."

here is the trace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285319/

application.css is pretty much the default:

/*
 * This is a manifest file that'll automatically include all the stylesheets available in this directory
 * and any sub-directories. You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at
 * the top of the compiled file, but it's generally better to create a new file per style scope.
 *= require_self 
 *= require_tree . 
*/

obviously it doesn’t like the comments in CSS, was there some change in SASS or Rails I haven’t noticed?

here are the versions of sass:

sass (3.2.1)
sass-rails (3.2.5)
  railties (~> 3.2.0)
  sass (>= 3.1.10)
  tilt (~> 1.3)

Answer 1

the error was caused by this line in jquery.fileupload-ui.css (jQuery File Upload UI Plugin CSS 6.3)

/* Fix for IE 6: */
*html .fileinput-button {
  line-height: 22px;
  margin: 1px -3px 0 0;
}
