Compass --watch issue

[ravenna]

I am using Spree, the RoR ecommerce app and it comes preloaded using
Compass, Sass and Blueprint. Running compass --watch returned the
following error.

roy-sherrills-macbook-pro:testcart tjs$ compass --watch --trace
>>> Compass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to Stop.

After digging around I found the following command which appears to
set the paths...
compass --watch --sass-dir sass/ --css-dir /compiled

Is there any way to set this up so that I don't need the long command
to setup the watch?

thanks

You don't need compass to compile your stylesheets in a rails app.
Compass configures the sass plugin to find the compass libraries and
extensions as part of the application boot. The css will get compiled
when it changes the next time you make a page request.

Hunt & pecked on my iPhone... Sorry if it's brief!

Chris,

thanks for the response. The issue was in the fact that I wasn't
specifying the --sass-dir and the --css-dir... thanks
