Does --css-dir always have to be relative to the project directory?

[leeand00]

I'm using compass 0.10.4

I'm running a compass command and I want it to put it's output to the
server when I run a watch instead of to the project directory.

Is there any way of specifying an absolute path instead of a path
relative to the directory you want the css output to?

I'm trying to have my compiled css output to the directory:
/home/leeand00/andrew-leer.com/wp-content/themes/coffeeSunrise

but instead it is being output to
<compass-project-dir>/home/leeand00/andrew-leer.com/wp-content/themes/
coffeeSunrise

I've tried specifying the compiled css output directory using --css-
dir on the command line.

I've also tried changing the value of css_dir to /home/leeand00/andrew-
leer.com/wp-content/wp-content/themes/coffeeSunrise in config.rb and
not specifying the --css-dir argument and I get the same result.

I realize that this can be specified using ../../../ (as many times as
needed) but since I don't always know where my deployment point would
be this is sub optimal.

Thank you,
Andrew J. Leer

I have long intended to provide this feature. Some aspects of it existed but didn't quite work. until now.

Basically, in your config, if you want to supply a full path, set *_path instead of *_dir and give an absolute path to the location.

From the cli, the --xxx-dir options are smart if you pass an absolute path to them they will set the xxx_path option for you instead.

Are you able to pull down the latest code and give it a try?

No it's available on github.

cd compass

gem build compass.gemspec

sudo gem install compass-0.10.5.pre.0.gem
