14,547 PointsCompass Deadlock Error
I'm working on the Sass basics course. I've gotten sass setup and sass --watch . --poll has been working just fine. Now the concept of libraries has been introduced, so I am attempting to set up compass.
When I update a file, the watch crashes. I haven't been able to find anything on google for Compass to help. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
(I am running vagrant with Brackets editing the shared folder on the windows side)
vagrant@brodie-ubuntu:/vagrant/sass$ compass watch --poll --trace

14,934 PointsHi was having this problem and was able fix the issue. What Os are you on? Window's or Mac? Just saw your on windows. <br/> I fixed it like this. <br/> 1) in command line ("i use cmndr") type: gem uninstalll listen <br/> 2) then type: gem install listen --version 2.10.1 <br/> For some reason when you run gem --system update it updates the Listen gem as well which causes this error. After downgrading to Listen 2.10.1 the issue was fixed. <br/> Hope this helps
