Question

I need to generate default Blueprint CSS files using a Ruby command in the Shell. However the column_width, amount and gutter parameters aren’t coming trough. I think i don’t understand the syntax…

is this correct:

ruby compress.rb -o /var/www/css/blueprint/src/ -p 70 15 12

for this documentation?

  -n, --namespace=BP_NAMESPACE     Define a namespace prepended to all Blueprint classes (e.g. .your-ns-span-24)
  -p, --project=PROJECT_NAME       If using the settings.yml file, PROJECT_NAME is the project name you want to export

Based on the usage help I think you will need to specify the argument names instead of relying simply on their position. Also you specified the -p parameter without providing a project name. Perhaps something like this will work better for you:

ruby compress.rb -o /var/www/css/blueprint/src/ --column_width=70 --gutter_width=15 --gutter_width=12
