Question
Next, use a mixin to give body a linear-gradient background. Make the start color #3d69b5 and the end color #1a335e.
Bummer! Make sure you're defining a linear-gradient.
My Solution
@mixin background($start, $stop) {
background:linear-gradient($start, $stop); }
body {
@include background(#3d69b5, #1a335e);
}
Output in my stylesheet.css on my local compass
body {
background: linear-gradient(#3d69b5, #1a335e);
}
Everything works fine on my local copy, what am I missing here. Thanks

Should work. As Chris stated the Compass Library already contains the mixin(s) required for this task and as in the video examples you have already linked the Compass Library .scss (sass files) into your project files so that you may call them in your markup (in this case with @include). That's why we use Compass - so we don't have to write all the common mixins etc... in our projects! =)

Compass has a built in mixin for linear and radial gradients therefore you don't need to create your own, see the following link for information about this mixins.
