How to use compass in phpstorm?

Question

I\'m aware of this question: How to add Compass syntax support to Jetbrains PhpStorm? but it doesn\'t help.

I just opted for copying the files over, much easier in my pr

Answer 1

I am using PhpStorm 2017.1.4

Setting the Ruby path variable and enabling compass in PhpStorm did not work out for me.

I could not use compass from the project directory ("Failed to run Compass") because the terminal could not resolve the command compass with the executable from the Ruby instal dir.

Thus, I permanently set a windows (using win10) environment variable following this explanation.

Quick explanation:

• Assuming you have already installed ruby and compass.

• Go to: Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables...

• Add C:\Ruby22\bin to your PATH variable

• Restart PhpStorm

Further advice:

If you imported your Project from a different system it might help if you delete your config.rb filed and run compass init from your project root.
