Compass isn’t configured properly when chosen as preprocessor

[sergeh]

Running grunt after generating init yields an error

Warning: Task "sass:dev" not found. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.

In fact getting that error for anything related to sass
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi, just to verify: Do you have ruby sass installed on your machine?

As a follow up question: Did you choose Sass as preprocessor or something else? Not getting any issues when Sass (default) is selected.

@anselmh I do have ruby sass installed and I chose Compass as the preprocessor
Sass 3.3.6 (Maptastic Maple)
ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-linux]
Compass 0.12.6 (Alnilam)

I just tried using the default Sass with the generator and I'm getting this error after running grunt

Linting test/specs/example.spec.js ...ERROR
[L8:C44] W098: 'module' is defined but never used.
define(['modules/module'], function (module) {
Warning: Task "jshint:all" failed. Use --force to continue.

Well, the second one is not an error with the app itself but only says you will have to either remove the module or use the module (see JSHint config and RequireJS docs).
This leads us to the follow up conclusion that the initial issue you have is with Compass chosen as preprocessor. I see the issue now, as compass is not using the same sass module but its own and needs a different grunt task configuration in INIT. For now, you can only fix this yourself by including the compass dependency and write the task partial yourself.
I’ll update the issue regardingly so we can keep track of this or fix it. Also, feel free to open a pull request to fix this. :)
