  • 0

I have an environment setup on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to run a Django website and it doesn’t seem to want to play nice. The environment is as follows:

Python      2.6.5  
Django      1.3.1  
Gunicorn    0.13.4  
Supvervisor 3.0  
Nginx       0.7.65  
Varnish     2.1

I have the following relevant modules installed for the Django app:

django-appconf    0.4.1  
django-compressor 1.1.1  
django-smartagent 0.1.1  
Coffee Script     1.2.0
Sass              3.1.12

Everything starts up just fine, but I get the following template error:

Caught FilterError while rendering: invalid option: --scss

I’ve narrowed it down to this list of tuples within my settings.py file:

(('text/coffeescript', 'coffee --compile --stdio'),
 ('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'),
 ('text/x-sass', 'sass {infile} {outfile}'),
 ('text/x-scss', 'sass --scss {infile} {outfile}'))

It looks as if the last line is what’s causing all this trouble.

I have the SAME setup on Ubuntu 11.10 and it’s working just fine. I’m not sure what’s going on.

    What version of Ruby do you have installed? I suspect that you need to upgrade Ruby, as SASS requires 1.8.7 or greater (according to the SASS Changelog).

    Can you confirm your Ruby version, and if it is < 1.8.7, try upgrading and see if that sorts out your issue?

    EDIT: Supposedly, Ruby 1.8.7 is included in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, according to the Ubuntu Tech Specs. That said, you might want to confirm the version of SASS by running:

    sass -v

    Just to be absolutely sure…
