Cakefile does not work with given package versions

[naggie]

I suspect it's to do with the scunch version, and is similar to this issue: https://github.com/CaffeinatedCode/springseed/issues/113

Tried on Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 with node v0.8.2.

This is the combination of versions that npm installs:

├── base@0.3.7 (git://github.com/stayradiated/base.git#b2186941477736b3a3dfb7f520c95139f7df12d6)
├─┬ coffee-script@1.7.1
├─┬ coffee-scrunch@0.2.3
├─┬ coffeelint@1.0.8
├── jandal@0.0.14
├── jquery@2.1.0
├─┬ minify@0.2.6
├─┬ mocha@1.17.1

├── node-watch@0.3.4

Please could you run npm list on a known-good install? Perhaps the .x wildcards are breaking things here. I believe it's better to explicitly list a known-good version even if minor changes are not supposed to break things: they do.

Another annoyance: cake commands don't say anything if sass isn't installed.

Oops. I switched promise libraries in one of the dependencies, and didn't think it would affect the external api.

Regarding Sass: We actually use the sass --watch source/stylesheets/screen.scss:app/css/screen.css which is aliased to npm run-script sass-watch.

The problem with using node-sass is that it didn't support some of the features that we were using. I'll pull in the latest version and see if it is still broken.

Excellent. Thanks!

Compiling now works.

Naturally, I don't have CSS. So, on Ubuntu 12.04 I installed ruby-sass and also latest node-sass (with symlink to simulate sass command) and it did not work.

On Ubuntu you should be able to install ruby, and then run gem install sass.
