SassBeautify doesn't work... about sassbeautify HOT 12 CLOSED

I have not tested in Windows 8, so I can't guarantee it will work in that environment.

Can you confirm the following:

• Are there any errors in the python console (View > Show Console) in Sublime Text when running the plugin?
• Have you installed sass?
• Has sass been added to your environment path? (EG, can you run sass-convert --version from cmd.exe?)

from sassbeautify.

• Sass is installed
• When I do sass-convert --version in the Command Prompt (with Ruby), it shows me : Sass 3.2.12 (Media Mark)
• You're right, there are errors when I execute SassBeautify !

Here is the copy/paste :

Exception in thread Thread-3:

OK then, thanks for this. I'm a total python noob, but i've done a bit of research and I'm taking an educated guess that the issue is SIGPIPE, and this is a possible solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16865106/492325

Unfortunately I don't have a windows 8 machine to test. If I push a fix to a different branch, would you have the time to re-install the plugin manually to help me test?

from sassbeautify.

Sure, no problem, with pleasure ! Tell me when I can do it for you.

Thanks man. I think there's some other things we need to verify before pushing any code.

1. You mention the Command Prompt (with Ruby), what does that mean exactly? Have you tested the sass-convert command (sass-convert --version) using the default command prompt or a powershell prompt?
2. Are you using RVM or any other ruby version manager, and if so, can you paste your path settings?
3. Can you paste this into your python console in Sublime Text and let me know the output?:

import subprocess;p=subprocess.Popen(['sass-convert','--stdin','--from','scss','--to','scss'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE);(stdout, stderr)=p.communicate(input=".test{color:red;}".encode('utf-8'));print("STDOUT %s" % stdout.decode('utf-8'));print("STDERR %s" % stderr.decode('utf-8'));

Ruby

• I installed it using this : http://www.rubyinstaller.org/ (recommended here : http://sass-lang.com/install )
• With this installer, I have a this :

The one on the left is the default Windows cmd.exe. The other one on the right ("Start Command Prompt with Ruby") is installed with "Ruby Installer". I have to use it to install sass and compass, even on Windows 7

• If I use the default cmd.exe and execute sass-convert --version i've got this : 'sass-convert' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Console & Output

Here is the result :

>>> import subprocess;p=subprocess.Popen(['sass-convert','--stdin','--from','scss','--to','scss'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE);(stdout, stderr)=p.communicate(input=".test{color:red;}".encode('utf-8'));print("STDOUT %s" % stdout.decode('utf-8'));print("STDERR %s" % stderr.decode('utf-8'));
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File ".\subprocess.py", line 633, in __init__
  File ".\subprocess.py", line 842, in _execute_child
WindowsError:

If I use the default cmd.exe and execute sass-convert --version i've got this : 'sass-convert' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So this looks like a path issue then. Can you open up the "Start Command Prompt with Ruby" prompt, then paste this in: echo $PATH then add that path to your SassBeautify settings file.

Hummmm.... :p

I had nothing special to do on Windows 7...
I just noticed something : http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

If you don’t know what version to install and you’re getting started with Ruby, we recommend you use Ruby 1.9.3 installers. These provide a stable language and a extensive list of packages (gems) that are compatible and updated.
Ruby 2.0.0, specially the 64bits version, are relatively new on the Windows area and not all the packages have been updated to be compatible with it.

I don't know which version I have on Windows 7, but on my Windows 8 I installed Ruby 2.0.0.
I try the other version (1.9.3) and I come back to tell you if it works.

from sassbeautify.

Okay, the 2.0.0 works, I just made ​​a mistake : when I installed it yesterday, I didn't check the option "Add Ruby executables to your PATH". I didn't know what it meant so I didn't touch it. (And the first time on Windows 7 I followed a tutorial, maybe it was indicate to check it)

Thank you for your help, and sorry for taking your time for nothing. :(

(One good thing : now, you can tell "it works on Windows 8 !")

from sassbeautify.

Great that you got it working. Yes this path issue has been quite a problem in the past. No problem man, you haven't wasted my time, I think we both gained some knowledge out of this experience, and indeed it's good to know the plugin does work on Windows 8!

BTW regarding getting the path value, for windows it should have been: echo %path%, my bad!

I'm going to try add some documentation to the README about this which should hopefully help others if they have the same problem.

from sassbeautify.

I've added a bit more info to the README about RubyInstaller: https://github.com/badsyntax/SassBeautify#issues-with-ruby-sass-and-your-path

from sassbeautify.

When I do "echo %path% I see a lot of information, but when I try SassBeautify then I get the error:

There was an error beautifying your Sass:
[Errno 32] Broken pipe

No further error information is given. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

EDIT: I got it working. Had to do: gem install sass.
