So the code challenge is this:
Next, use a mixin to give body a linear-gradient background. Make the start color #3d69b5 and the end color #1a335e.
This is the code I used
/* Write your SCSS code below. */
// Imports
@import "compass/css3"
// Variables
// Page Styles
body {
@include background-image(linear-gradient(left, right, #3d69b5, #1a335e))
}
I'm getting an error here that isn't making a lot of sense to me, Invalid CSS after "body ": expected selector or at-rule, was "{"
I actually got this same error in the first part of the challenge but fortunately the body tag was not needed for that step so I was able to delete it and pass through. I can't figure out if my code is wrong or if there is something buggy with this code challenge. Any help would be great!

@include background-image(linear-gradient(left, right, #3d69b5, #1a335e)); <--- I think thats where it goes.

Next, use a mixin to give body a linear-gradient background. Make the start color #3d69b5 and the end color #1a335e.
so i did body {@include background(linear-gradient(#3d69b5, #1a335e));}
but it is saying Make sure you're including the correct mixin in the body rule

@include background(linear-gradient(#3d69b5, #1a335e));
Not too sure how it's different than yours. Maybe something with the body?

5,076 Pointsyou also need a ; at the import statement.
@import "compass/css3"; <--- right there.
