Question

I’ve recently switched over from using the Bash command prompt to Zsh on Mac OSX.

Problem I have using Zsh is that the command I would use to watch Sass files no longer works.

The script file I have is sass.sh and the content is…

#!/bin/sh
sass --style expanded --watch Assets/Styles/Sass:Assets/Styles --debug-info
exit 0

…but every time I run sh sass.sh I get the error…

/Users/<home-directory>/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find sass (>= 0) amongst [bigdecimal-1.1.0, io-console-0.3, json-1.5.4, minitest-2.5.1, rake-0.9.2.2, rdoc-3.9.4] (Gem::LoadError)

from /Users/<home-directory>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper:14:in `<main>'

…and I don’t know how to resolve this problem.

It looks like it just can’t locate the Sass gem, but if I run gem list --local I can see sass (3.2.3, 3.2.1, 3.1.20, 3.1.17, 3.1.15) in the list of gems. BUT I do also get an error again displayed first…

Error loading RubyGems plugin "/Users/<home-directory>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/gems/rubygems-bundler-0.2.8/lib/rubygems_plugin.rb": cannot load such file -- rubygems_bundler/rubygems_bundler_installer (LoadError)

I’ve looked around on Google and SO and found miscellaneous references to similar issues but none that helped me and my specific issue.

Can any one tell me what I need to do to resolve this issue so I can continue to use Zsh and run my Sass script.

Well, seems the answer is very simple. When using Zsh you no longer use the sh command but the zsh command.

So instead of sh sass.sh I just needed to do zsh sass.sh
