Treehouse TeacherWorkspaces now supports Sass!
Hey everyone,
Good news. Workspaces now has support for Sass! To create a Sass Workspace, select "Sass" as the environment option and you're all set.
In the Workspace console, you're able to use common Sass commands for watch
, help
, etc. Try it out on our brand new course: Modular CSS with Sass. :)
Edit: James Barnett has created a step-by-step guide to using Sass with Workspaces. Thanks James!

Treehouse TeacherHi Richard Nash.
Yep, Workspaces supports the latest version of Compass. Write compass -v
in the console to check it out.

24,862 PointsHi Guil,
Thanks for this. I'm going through the sass courses but I have not found where console sass commands are explained. Could you point me to that?
And maybe you could do a short blog post or video explaining the basic sass workflow in workspaces for the treehouse community.
And thank you for your work :-)

So first I'd check out the Installing and Using Sass video and then if you are new to the terminal check out Getting Started with the Console badge.

24,862 Pointsok, so to use sass in workspaces i have to make a file and label it app.scss, then i need to go into the console and type sass --watch, or something like that? And then the css file that I would need to actually make a webpage exist is then compiled from the app.scss file? or do i need to make a file called app.css and then connect them somehow? This part is a little confusing, as it is not explicitly gone through in either the Sass basics or Modular Sass courses... it's just kinda exists already... I have not gone through all of the advanced Sass course yet, and they first part was helping me out a little bit with understanding manifests and globbing, which I believe is part of the bigger question that I am asking.
So, it's just the whole process of creating a new Sass project in workspaces and all of the little nitty gritty workflow steps that I'm still a little foggy about. This includes BEM and SMACSS and minifests and globbing and Sass Watch and how they all work together. It's sort of sprinkled across a few different courses in a few different places, as far as I can tell at this point.
I hope that wasn't too confusing, as I'm a little confused myself as to what I'm asking for, exactly :-) And I'm also trying to use workspaces to make a full on website, so i'm seeing if it can replace Sublime or Coda or Espresso, etc...

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for, but I'll give it a shot.
To help you (and others in the future out) I made a new forum post with step-by-step instructions that should hopefully get you pointed in the right direction.

Thanks :-)
