Question

I can’t seem to enable Sass to output my css file using unix newlines, which results in conflicts every time a different develop compiles from a .scss file and commits the compiled file (our production environment relies on the compiled file at the moment).

I have Windows 7, Ruby 1.93 and sass 3.2.1. The options here say you can specify unix_newlines => true but I can’t figure out where that needs to go in my watch command line?

This is the command I’m using at the moment: sass --watch scss/main.scss:css/main.css scss/orange.scss:css/orange/orange.css --style nested.

Adding --unix_newlines true doesn’t work, it says invalid option: --unix_newlines

Please help!

From the command line, you should use --unix-newlines. The unix_newlines config specified in the SASS reference is for use from within a Ruby config file – when used as a command-line flag, the underscore becomes a hyphen.
