What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have the following configuration for wro.xml, wro.properties and maven 
plugin

2. running mvn clean install
    produces:
    [INFO] Executing the mojo:
[INFO] Wro4j Model path: /<my_project_root>/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/wro.xml
[INFO] targetGroups: test_group

[INFO] /<my_project_root>/target/test_group.css (1 bytes)
[INFO] folder: /<my_project_root>/target
[INFO] processing group: test_group.js

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see test_group.css to have contents of test_new.sass in css 
format. But I see an empty file there.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.7.6 on Java 1.6 on Mac.

Please provide any additional information below.

I have tried various pre-processors with this configuration with sassCss but 
nothing worked. Also I work in a restricted environment where jruby is not 
allowed So I thought I will rely on Sass to CSS using Rhino and Sass.js hence I 
excluded the dependencies that are not allowed.

I have attached the sass file in the previous comment. Thank you for looking 
into it.

Of course it was originally named as test_new.sass

The sassCss processor uses an outdated sass version (0.5.0) and is based on 
rhino (which makes it slow as a side effect). 

I would recommend using rubySassCss processor, which is based on ruby 
implementation of sass and uses the sass syntax of the sass language documented 
here: http://sass-lang.com/

Assuming there is no update of sass.js version (which is used by sassCss 
processor), I would rather deprecate that processor. As result, I'm closing 
this issue with wontfix resolution. Feel free to reopen if you have better 
suggestions.
