@import "folder/name"; error WHY?

Guys, I wrote in application.scss

@import "base/index";

but there's error in the application.css:

Error: Invalid CSS after "@import ": expected file to import (string or url()), was "‘base’;" on line 1 of scss/base/_index.scss from line 4 of scss/application.scss

1: @import ‘base’;

and terminal as well:

error scss/base/_index.scss (Line 1: Invalid CSS after "@import ": expected file to import (string or url()), was "‘base’;")

It's the same for the others import files, but not if I import from the same folder of application.scss, like that: @import "style";

Thanks John Carty! But if I write url("base/index"), in the application.css there isn't any code but just @import url("base/index"); like the .scss file

I found the problem (stupid as ever): it's the sintax in index.scss file. I imported _base.scss partial file in _index.scss (as the video) but I didn't check the difference between the sintax in this video "Finishing and Importing our Partials, minute 6:17" (@import 'base';) and Brackets (@import "base";) So... not '' but ""

I don't know why in this video they use this sintax...

:)
