Can you post what is displayed in the Web Workbench output window? It should be displaying the result from Compass. Are there any errors? Also do you have a sprites folder located underneath your Sass path? Does it contain any .scss files?

Jeremy

When I try to generate sprites I get “Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. The config.rb looks correct and it compiles my scss files. What could be wrong here?

It would be really nice if we can configure this setting to a custom images folder/location elsewhere in the project.

Thanks guys!

Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Great job for integrate compass in workbench

In command line is that possible to use compass?!
Do you have any example for spriting with compass and command line?

Thanks,
Thomas

Otherwise, the “Generate Sprinting Import” menu item is not available. Initially confusing as the ASP.NET MVC templates generate an images directory spelled with a capital ‘I’.

This seem like a bug to me?

I have already Setup a Compass Project… but I have one question: can I change the config values in the config.rb file to actually change the css_dir and sass_dir and still use the Compass compiler?… I use App_Themes so my folders need to be set to that path.

If I understand right the workbench has now two compilers and which one is used depends on the Project being set as “Compass Project”, right? If it is, then I can already use any compass mixin in my scss files located in the ‘sass_dir’ setting, is that correct?

I’m sure this new feature will have more people wanting to download the Tool. Congratulations to all the team!
