Question

In my Compass project I have a config.rb with the setting environment = :development.

How do I tell Compass that, when it is run on the server (for example compass compile), the environment should be production?

Answer 1

From the Docs

Option A: Use the compass production defaults.

compass compile -e production --force

Note: This only changes the compass defaults, options you’ve specified explicitly in your configuration will not be changed.

Option B: Override your configuration file settings on the command line

compass compile --output-style compressed --force

Option C: Create a separate configuration file for production

cp config.rb prod_config.rb

..edit prod_config.rb to suit your needs..

compass compile -c prod_config.rb --force
