22,388 Pointscan not get sass to work
For some reason my terminal can not find test.sass file. I use a text editor called Komodo edit 8. But i think they don't support sass. So i used sublime edit 2. and it still can not find the file. I use cd desktop, to direct it to the file (still no luck). The file is in a folder, do i need to direct my terminal to the folder?

Treehouse TeacherIf the file is in a folder on your desktop, you need to cd to that folder.
Example:
cd ~/Desktop/directory/test.sass
I haven't used Komodo, but I have used the Aptana IDE quite a bit, and it likes to save files in it's own directories unless told otherwise. You might make sure the file is where you think it is if you started this in Komodo.

Treehouse TeacherJust to try and narrow it down a bit, you've cd'd to the directory that contains the file, but you don't see the file's contents? Is that right? Are you trying to edit the file in the terminal window with nano or vim, or are you just trying to compile the sass file to css? Also, the file extension should be scss rather than sass (test.scss rather than test.sass); I should have noted this in my code example above—sorry.
I hope this helps.

22,388 Pointshey, i just figured it out. I just took the file out of the folder and put it on my desktop. Then it worked. Then i downloaded the scout app and it continued to work inside the folder :). Thank you for your time a effort!

Treehouse TeacherNo problem. Glad you got it working. It sounds like you needed to cd down another directory. Anyway, good luck with your project.

5,076 PointsCan you post a pic or something of your terminal? It sounds like you didn't change the terminal file location to where test.sass file is.
