Question

I’m using compass 0.10.4

I’m running a compass command and I want it to put it’s output to the
server when I run a watch instead of to the project directory.

Is there any way of specifying an absolute path instead of a path
relative to the directory you want the css output to?

I’m trying to have my compiled css output to the directory:

/home/leeand00/leeand00.com/wp-content/themes/coffeeSunrise

but instead it is being output to

<compass-project-dir>/home/leeand00/leeand00.com/wp-content/themes/
coffeeSunrise

I’ve tried specifying the compiled css output directory using –css-
dir on the command line.

I’ve also tried changing the value of css_dir to

/home/leeand00/leeand00.com/wp-content/wp-content/themes/coffeeSunrise

in config.rb and
not specifying the –css-dir argument and I get the same result.

I realize that this can be specified using ../../../ (as many times as
needed) but since I don’t always know where my deployment point would
be this is sub optimal.

Chris added this functionality to the latest build, but until the new version is released, you have to compile it yourself.
