I'm using the latest Yeoman angular generator to start a project. I'd like to use SASS and Compass, which is provided by default from Yeoman.
The big drawback of Compass is, that it is painfully slow. I have Twitter Bootstrap included (the SASS version), three .scss files in my styles folder and the compilation takes about 10-12 seconds. It is slightly faster (about one second) when using live watch.
But waiting 10-12 seconds on every style file change would be insane. I looked around and found some posts (most of them about a year old), but they didn't help me so much. I also found this project https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-sass where the original https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-sass is replaced by a C++ version, instead of Ruby compiling. But the drawback is, that it doesn't support Compass.
I hope somebody can help me, to speed things up.
This is my setup:
I'm starting my grunt server with grunt serve, live watch *.js, *.scss files, and triggering a reload on file change. This is my Gruntfile.js:
// Generated on 2014-06-16 using generator-angular 0.9.0-1

// # Globbing

// use this if you want to recursively match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Load grunt tasks automatically
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
// Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// Configurable paths for the application
var appConfig = {
app: require('./bower.json').appPath || 'app',
dist: 'dist'
};
// Define the configuration for all the tasks
grunt.initConfig({
// Project settings

As you can see, the initial startup takes about 13 seconds, a file change about 9 seconds.
Any ideas, how to speed this up?
UPDATE
I played around a little bit, and this might help. It doesn't solve the slow compilation problem itselft, but it speeds up things:
If you don't need the Bootstrap SASS version, skip it and switch to the normal CSS version. Your compilation time will decrease significant
If you need the SASS version, have a look at the bootstrap.scss file (either in your bower_components/bootstrap-sass-official folder, or if you have downloaded it manually, where you put it). Maybe there are some components you don't need, so you can skip some files. In your main SCSS file, you would include bootstrap like this: #import "bootstrap-sass-official/vendor/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap.scss";. Look inside this file, and copy only the things you need into your main SCSS file (and be sure to change the paths).
Make sure that you use the #import statements properly. By default, everything that doesn't has a _ in front of the filename get's compiled and included by Grunt. Normally you would have one file like styles.scss for your whole application or if you want to seperate it several page1.scss, page2.scss... files. If you include other files like #import 'colors.scss'; make sure the filename is _colors.scss. Otherwise the colors.scss gets also compiled by Grunt and then compiled again because of the #import statement. This would slow down you compilation process.
But again, this are only work arounds and doesn't speed up the compilation itself. So, still searching for a solution.
You can replace compass with compass-mixins which is fully compatible with libsass and use compass-importer to update all the original compass #import's with the new ones.
When I migrated some compass projects to libsass I reduced the compilation time from ~30s to ~350ms.
Why won't grunt server properly watch/compile scss through compass
ENV:
I am using Windows 8 + Yeoman (generator-angular 0.6.0-rc.1)
I think the same problem on Github:
Does not seems to work with windows 8, 64bit
For Anyone that doesn't know how to answer my question, is there anything I might add, that you believe, would help lead someone to this answer? I'm actively watching this thread.
Compass is installed and works properly
after running Grunt server — the compass:watch command fails and aborts everything
If I grunt server --force everything works properly expect scss.
I'm not sure if paths are incorrect so i've linked my Gruntfile.js

Ok Finally have solved it. I have 2 versions of Ruby200 on my computer x64 and 32 bit. My System Enviroment Variables were set to x64; however, all my gems were installed in 32bit and this is why none of this worked. I hope this helps someone in the future.
I ran into the same issue so I uninstalled the 64 bit version of Ruby and installed a 32 bit version. I still got the same error. After further searching I found that after installing compass with "gem install compass" it actually installed a newer released version (sass-3.30.rc.2) then if I installed sass manually with "gem install sass" (sass-3.2.14)
So what fixed this for me was after installing compass using "gem install compass" I uninstalled sass using "gem uninstall sass" and then reinstalled with "gem install sass"
Compass works for me now.
As I want to use Bourbon, I'm looking forward to remove compass grunt task and use plain sass task, however for some reason it doesn't seems to compile my scss files.
I have the following directory structure:
yeomanApp/
app/
styles/
css/
scss/
My Gruntfile.js looks something like this:
...
grunt.initConfig({
...
sass: {
dist: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles',
src: ['scss/{,*/}*.scss'],
dest: 'css',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
...
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.registerTask('server', function (target) {
if (target === 'dist') {
return grunt.task.run(['build', 'connect:dist:keepalive']);
}
grunt.task.run([
'clean:server',
'concurrent:server',
'sass',
'autoprefixer',
'connect:livereload',
'watch',
]);
});
...
When running this task:
$ grunt sass
Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
Done, without errors.
However, my scss files are not compiled into app/styles/css.
What am I missing?
I think there's a problem:
dest: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles/css',
and should work.
I'm using Yeoman with Compass to compile the bootstrap SASS files. My Yeoman app is not in the base directory of my web server, it's in a directory called "ui". I'm getting 404 not found for the bootstrap images because the CSS files are pointing to /images when they should be pointing to /ui/images. I've tried modifying the compass options in my Gruntfile as below but it doesn't seem to change anything in the generated CSS:
compass: {
options: {
sassDir: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles',
cssDir: '.tmp/styles',
imagesDir: '<%= yeoman.app %>/images',
javascriptsDir: '<%= yeoman.app %>/scripts',

It doesn't seem to make a difference if I set relativeAssets equal to true or false. Thanks for the help!
If your Yeoman app has been generated by generator-webapp and includes bootstrap 2.x.x, you can see the following code in app/styles/main.scss.
$iconSpritePath: "../images/glyphicons-halflings.png";
$iconWhiteSpritePath: "../images/glyphicons-halflings-white.png";
You can modify these paths as you like.
I try to use yeoman but I don't know how to use my own sass files with it.
With
grunt server
Sass files are watched and compiled into
.tmp/styles/
But there is no reference to the compiled stylesheet, except <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css">
So, what is the recommended way to use the compiled sass files in index.html during development?
E.g. grunt server, if I change my style app/styles/my.sass into .tmp/styles/my.css, this is overwritten and it is outside the server (localhost:9000). Therefore, it is impossible to link it in index.html.
With grunt build is everything within main.css include my.sass but during the development I don't know how to use my own sass files in index.html.
Can you give me some simple example?
It is default yeoman installation. I did this:
yo angular test
I add app/styles/style.sass
grunt server this compile style.sass into .tmp/styles/style.css
now I don't know how to include style.css it in html
(sorry may be this is a stupid question but I am new in yeoman and grunt also)

What you are looking for is documented on: https://github.com/yeoman/grunt-usemin
Simply wrap your css imports in a comment block similarly to the way it's done with the javascript files
<!-- build:css styles/main.css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/base.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/modules.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/layout.css">
<!-- endbuild -->
make sure your generator is up to date and your grunt tasks are all set. The one doing the magic is 'useminPrepare'
The actual magic for development is happening in
mountFolder(connect, '.tmp'),
for the connect-livereload middleware for grunt-contrib-watch.
This makes the local server also serve the contents of the .tmp folder, which is why you can reference styles/main.css and get .tmp/styles/main.css in return.
useminPrepare is usually never called in the server task.
You just include it like
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/style.css">
Yeoman/grunt will know when running the server that it should grab the sass file from the temp folder.
