init generator is unclear in its Twitter Bootstrap for Compass prompt about generator HOT 11 CLOSED

If any bootstrap.css file is being placed into the users initial project when they have declined Twitter Bootstrap being included, that is a bug afaik.

Reviewing the output:

Writing compiled Bootstrap
Reading /Users/addyo/projects/yeoman/cli/node_modules/yeoman-generators/lib/generators/yeoman/app/templates/bootstrap.css...OK
Writing app/styles/bootstrap.css...OK

I can confirm this is currently the case. @paulirish I assume we should only be writing Bootstrap when the user has opted into it. If this is correct, I'll change this to fix tomorrow unless someone gets to it before me.

@addyosmani It's by design, you or @paulirish wanted to always include Bootstrap. The prompt is just asking if you want Compass Bootstrap, otherwise compiled bootstrap is included.

Cool cool. If we always want to include Bootstrap I think we should make the language a little more clear. @paulirish could you confirm if we always wanted to include Bootstrap as a part of init?

This definitely left me confused. I ran init expecting that I could skip Bootstrap, answered 'no' to all of the setup questions, and found a new project full of Bootstrap when all I wanted was HTML5 Boilerplate, jQuery and Modernizr. This is what's implied documentation as well. I'm sure Bootstrap is great and fitting for certain projects but not surely not every project.

What's the status of this, being a month later now?

I'm sorry, I was expecting the prompt question to give you compass
bootstrap, otherwise no bootstrap at all.

@paulirish Thanks for the clarification. We currently have it setup to use Compass or default to Bootstrap CSS if that isn't opted for. We can change the behaviour to match the original intention in the next release.

Sure.

What do you think about a nested prompt?

• Would you like to include Twitter Boostrap?
  • Would you like the Compass version instead of compiled CSS?

The nested one is only shown if the first one is true.

+1 for nested prompt

Also, I'd leave room for the hypotetical coming of a LESS version

On second thought. Now that Bootstrap is on Bower, we can just ask for the Compass in the prompt and if they choose No, they're still free to do yeoman install bootstrap. In the revised generator system we might even download the Compass version from Bower, to make that to easily update-able.
