Question

I have a few scss files imported into a larger one using scss’s @import statement. When trying to dump the assets I get the following exception:

$ php app/console assetic:dump --force --verbose
Dumping all dev assets.
Debug mode is on.

paths shortened for readability 🙂

our config.yml looks like this

# Assetic Configuration
assetic:
    debug:          %kernel.debug%
    use_controller: false
    filters:
        cssrewrite: ~
        sass:
          bin: /usr/local/bin/sass
        compass:
          bin: /usr/local/bin/compass
        yui_js:
            jar: "%kernel.root_dir%/Resources/java/yuicompressor-2.4.6.jar"

I’m including the stylesheets using

{% stylesheets filter="compass,cssrewrite" '@TheaterjobsMainBundle/Resources/assets/css/*' %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset_url }}" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" />
{% endstylesheets %}

I have no idea whats going on. I’ll dump you any output that might help solve this.

Thank you!

Answer 1

turns out it was the fact that I was including the stylesheets with '@TheaterjobsMainBundle/Resources/assets/css/*' (with the wildcard in the path) instead of linking directly to the main scss file that imports all the scss partials using @import.

so sf was trying to compile the partials as well and failed because of unset variables.

not clearing the cache wasn’t that helpful, either 🙂
