I am following the CSS to SASS course through workspace, however, I am running into an issue where the sass --watch sass:css command gives me this error:
treehouse:~/workspace$ sass --watch _style.scss:style.css
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:315:in to_specs': Could not
find 'sass' (>= 0) among 6 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)
Checked in 'GEM_PATH=/home/treehouse/.local/gems', executegem envfor more

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:64:in
gem'
from /usr/local/bin/sass:22:in<main>'
What does this error mean? I'd really love to do this course as I want to practice refactoring my projects css to sass!

Treehouse TeacherHi everyone,
This has been resolved. You're now able to run any sass --watch command in the console and enjoy the wonders of Sass. :)

Treehouse TeacherAs a temporary workaround, it looks like if you run gem install sass in the Workspace console, then sass --watch scss:css it won't return the error.
I'll update you when it's completely fixed.

12,612 PointsI'm not fully versed in the realm of Sass or Ruby myself, however having a bit Google it may relate to the setup you have on your computer ... are you using Windows or Mac? Are you using any particular software? This would greatly help troubleshoot this for you Zack Bostian

21,916 PointsHi. I'm having the same problem. I saw Caroline Hagan answer, and I was a bit puzzled; if Sass is running inside the Workspaces terminal ─ which is web served ─ what does the computer configuration have to do with it?
Caroline Hagan
12,612 PointsAh I see what you mean, I thought this was a setup on his own computer, not Workspaces. My apologies

12,612 PointsIf it is a Workspaces issue, I'd suggest reporting it to the Help/Support team .. it could be a bug they might need to address, but better for them to look into it, instead of us guessing.

3,909 PointsThanks for letting me know Pedro, weird isn't it. I emailed support to try to find a resolve, but might have to follow your lead otherwise

21,916 PointsI think it's the best thing to do. It seems the issue isn't going away any time soon, and there's no point in getting stuck on account of it. It's a pity, though.

3,909 PointsIndeed it is, oh well! Thanks again for your help
