How to set up Compass to get rid of inspection errors?

Does the same command work from system terminal?

Yes, I saw that link and it didn't work. I think I have scoured the web pretty well for all answers and nothing worked. It does in Terminal and it works in PhpStorm too, I just want to get rid of inspection errors so autocomplete works and all those fancy features that PhpStorm *claims* to have for compass integration.

not sure I follow you.. Where do you see this error then? Seems it's thrown by a file watcher, is it? What do you mean saying that it works then? Also, I'm not sure what your unresolved import has to do with this error... Are compass imports

@import 'compass'

work? Do you have these errors shown for all your imports, or for certain ones only?

I *think* the file watchers paths are the problem. I don't know to correctly set up the paths (they were automatically setup by PhpStorm and are not working).

And how do I activate Configure Compass?:

I get it for all imports and mixins:

Sass is compiling I just want Php Storm to be able to communicate with Compass for the framework mixins to work.

Thanks for helping me!

I *think* the file watchers paths are the problem.

File watchers are only used for compiling files... They are not used for imports resolving - these are the settings in Preferences/Languages & Frameworks/Compass that are used for resolving compass imports in editor

And how do I activate Configure Compass?:

Hit Alt+Enter on import statement

I get it for all imports and mixins:

this most likely happens bacuse imports can't be resolved

Then how do I fix my Preferences?

And how do I activate Configure Compass?:

Hit Alt+Enter on import statement

I get "Failed to configure Compass" even though this was automatically set up by PhpStorm 8.

I get it for all imports and mixins:

How can I fix imports can't be resolved problem then?

can you run compass in your system terminal?

Yes, but I want to run it in PhpStorm for convenience. Isn't that the point?


Many thanks!!!

what compass executable do you use when running compass in terminal? /usr/bin/compass? What about specifying this executable as 'Compass executable file'  in Compass preferences in PHPStorm?

Compass executable in PhpStorm is:

/Users/Ambi/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@omega.uclalib_omega/gems/compass-0.12.2/bin/compass

When I run compass watch from Php Storm (in project file):

8:31:24 AM Compass: Failed to run compass on '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/UCLALIB/www/sites/all/themes/uclalib_omega/config.rb'
8:33:04 AM Compass: Failed to run compass on '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/UCLALIB/www/sites/all/themes/uclalib_omega/config.rb'

When I run compass watch in Terminal from the project file:

pow-m-dit302:// Ambi$ cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/UCLALIB/www/sites/all/themes/uclalib_omega

pow-m-dit302:uclalib_omega Ambi$ compass watch

>>> Compass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to Stop.

ok. Please run 'which compass' in system terminal - what is the result?

pow-m-dit302:uclalib_omega Ambi$ which compass
/Users/Ambi/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@omega.uclalib_omega/bin/compass

No one home? What happened?

Did you try choosing this executable (/Users/Ambi/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@omega.uclalib_omega/bin/compass) as compass exec in PHPStorm?
