Does anyone use Gaka with Noir?

[Sean S]

Extremely new to Clojure and even more so with Noir.  Only snag I've hit is finding a clojure -> css plugin, and getting it to work.  Currently trying with Gaka, but have no idea how I can force the creation of the css file other than having:

    (save-css "public/css/style.css" rules)

at the bottom of the clj file.  I have it in src/first/css/baseCss.clj ("first" being the project name)

Here's the whole file:

    (ns first.css.baseCss

(require [gaka.core :as gaka]))

    (def rules [:div#foo

              :margin "0px"

                [:span.bar

                   :color "black"

                   :font-weight "bold"

                 [:a:hover

                    :text-decoration "none"]]])

    (save-css "public/css/style.css" rules)

And the dependencies block in the project file is:

    :dependencies [

       [org.clojure/clojure "1.4.0"]

       [noir "1.3.0-beta3"]

       [gaka "0.3.0"]]

Pretty much cut and paste from the github page.  Not completely invested in Gaka if there is a better alternative.  Just looks like it's had the most recent updates.

It's been a long time, but I used to just check whether I was in development or production, and only output the css file during development, something like this (or however you are determining environment):

(when (noir.options/dev-mode?)

  (save-css "public/css/style.css" rules))

Problem is I haven't even arrived at that point since the file isn't being created at all.  I'm hoping it's something really simple, and  this is more about my lack of clojure knowledge. 

[Chris Granger]

are you requiring that file anywhere in your project?

Cheers,
Chris.

[Mark Rathwell]

Ah, yeah, as Chris said, require the file that contains all of the Gaka rules, etc., somewhere (for example in a file containing defpages).  That will cause the Gaka file to be read and your top-level save will then be executed.

Awesome.   Works now.  Thanks a lot.
