I'm trying to start using compass to manage sprites in my Rails project. Following the "Basic Usage" section of the Compass sprites tutorial, I created sprites.css.scss in my stylesheets directory, with the following lines:
@import "compass/utilities/sprites";
@import "sprite_icons/*.png";
@include all-sprite_icons-sprites;
I also created a directory "sprite_icons" under app/assets/images, and dumped a couple of png files there. When I try to load a page in my rails app, I get this message:
File to import not found or unreadable: compass/utilities/sprites
I decided that maybe the compass-rails gem I installed makes that import unnecessary, so I tried removing it, but then I get this error:
File to import not found or unreadable: sprite_icons/*.png. Load paths: /[...]/app/assets/images
I checked permissions on the new directory and they are readable. It looks like it has the right load path to find my sprite_icons directory.
Any suggestions?
