Zurb Foundation + Compass project creation : Too many arguments were specified

Question

When I create a new Zurb Foundation project using compass with :

compass create <project-name> -r zurb-foundation --using foundation

I get the following error :

Too many arguments were specified.

I found a workaround using sudo, but then my IDE cannot edit files, so this is not a solution.

Moreover, if I remove the project name from the command the project is created but then, when I launch :

compass watch

Instead of monitoring my .sass files, it creates a watch folder containing new .sass and .css files.

Any idea to make work zurb-foundation + compass watch with this command without sudo ?

Answer 1

I think you have your commands slightly wrong. Assuming you have Foundation installed (via bower) and compass as well...your syntax should be:

foundation new <your-project>

Answer 2

I found the solution using the following commands :

compass [an existing folder] -r zurb-foundation --using foundation
sudo compass watch

I had to add a sudo for the watch anyway but it's not locking my files anymore.

For those of you who might be interested in automating the process of creating a new compass + zurb foundation project and launching compass watch, I created the following function for my .bashrc / .zshrc

function foundation()
{
    mkdir $1;
    compass $1 -r zurb-foundation --using foundation;
    cd $1;
    sudo compass watch;
}

Hope this might be useful to some.
