How to use twitter bootstrap with bootstrap-sass in rails app?

I'm quite new to this, but i cannot figure out the problem.

In twitter bootstrap i would use :

<div class="row-fluid">
  <div class="span2">Column1</div>
  <div class="span6">Column2</div>
</div>

And it all works fine. But i do not want to write spanX and spanY directly into my html file, rather i would like to give meaningful class names, for example:

<div class="user-container">
  <div class="user-filter">First Column</div>
  <div class="user-list">Second Column</div>
</div>

Given the fact, that i'm using https://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass, how should i write my scss file? I've tried the following, and it does not work (two columns are not displayed):

@import "bootstrap";
@import "bootstrap-responsive";

.user-container {
    @extend .row-fluid;
}

.user-filter {
    @extend .span2;
}

.user-list {
    @extend .span10;
}

If i look at the generated code, it seems to me that everything should be ok:

/* line 164, ../../../../../.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/gems/bootstrap-sass-2.0.0/vendor/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_mixins.scss */
.span2, .user-filter {
  width: 140px;
}

and so on.

What am i doing wrong?

UPDATE:

ok, just to be clear what is wrong - the columns are laid out as rows (one after another) rather like true columns (one next to each other), eg.:

with bootstrap: Column1 Column2
with my custom classes:
First Column
Second Column

I've inspected the elements layout in Chrome and it seems that bootstrap classes have float property, and mine - no. Looking at css source i see classes like this:

[class*="span"] {
  float: left;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

So in my case i think it should generate something like : [class*="user-filter"] { float: left; margin-left: 20px; }

or not?

It's your use of @extend, or rather, Sass' inability to deal with wildcard class matching, which is rather unsurprising, since it gets rather complex.

Bootstrap uses a number of what I might refer to as 'nonstandard' methods to address some classes. You've mentioned one of those in your post above - [class*="span"].

Naturally, when you use @extend x, Sass is extending the x class. Unfortunately, it (currently) has no way of knowing that a wildcard matcher also affects the output of the class. So yes, in an ideal world, [class*="span"] would also be extended to define [class*="span"], .user-filter, but Sass can't currently do that.

While extending .row-fluid is enough to include the rules nested underneath it wrt. the span classes, as per above, it won't adjust the wildcards for extended spans.

bootstrap-sass already had a mixin for fixed width columns/rows, makeRow() and makeColumn(). I've just pushed a makeFluidColumn() mixin, that, well, makes a fluid span. Your code would then become:

.user-container {
  @extend .row-fluid;
}

.user-filter {
  @include makeFluidColumn(2);
}

.user-list {
  @include makeFluidColumn(10);
}

Unfortunately (as per usual) it's not quite so simple. Bootstrap uses this snippet to reset the margin on the first spanx class that is a child of the row.

> [class*="span"]:first-child {
  margin-left: 0;
}

However, we cannot redefine this for each call of makeFluidColumn, and so we must manually set no margin-left on any element that will be the first child of a fluid row. It's also worth noting that mixing spanx classes and makeFluidColumn classes will cause the first spanx class to have its margin reset, regardless of whether it's actually the first column in the row.

Your code would therefore be

.user-container {
  @extend .row-fluid;
}

.user-filter {
  @include makeFluidColumn(2);
  margin-left: 0; // reset margin for first-child
}

.user-list {
  @include makeFluidColumn(10);
}

It's not a particularly pretty solution, but it works, and is all to do with how Bootstrap uses wildcard class matching, as you gathered in your question update. I've only just pushed this to the 2.0.2 branch, so you'll have to use Bundler with Git to install it, but I'm hoping for a release in the next couple of days.

You are right. Twitter is pushing an ani-patter here. See this article.

Using boostrap-sass 2.3.2.2 gem I had to create my own mixin based on bootstrap's mixins to make CSS classes act like bootstrap .span classes.

// private mixin: add styles for bootstrap's spanX classes
@mixin _makeFluidSpan($gridColumns, $fluidGridColumnWidth, $fluidGridGutterWidth) {
  @include input-block-level();
  float: left;
  margin-left: $fluidGridGutterWidth;
  *margin-left: $fluidGridGutterWidth - (.5 / $gridRowWidth * 100px * 1%);
  @include grid-fluid-span($gridColumns, $fluidGridColumnWidth, $fluidGridGutterWidth);
}

// thats what you should use
@mixin makeFluidSpan($gridColumns) {
  @media (min-width: 980px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
    @include _makeFluidSpan($gridColumns, $fluidGridColumnWidth, $fluidGridGutterWidth);
  }
  @media (min-width: 1200px) {
    @include _makeFluidSpan($gridColumns, $fluidGridColumnWidth1200, $fluidGridGutterWidth1200);
  }
  @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) {
    @include _makeFluidSpan($gridColumns, $fluidGridColumnWidth768, $fluidGridGutterWidth768);
  }
  &:first-child {
    margin-left: 0;
  }
  @media (max-width: 767px) {
    float: none;
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    margin-left: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    &:last-child {
      margin-bottom: 0;
    }
  }
}

example:

  .like-span3 { // this class acts like .span3
    @include makeFluidSpan(3);
  }
