Cannot run program "sass": error=2, No such file or directory

[strelec]

First of all, I have sass installed:

[rok@rok-laptop ~]$ sass -v
Sass 3.3.9 (Maptastic Maple)

But nonetheless, I get this error. Here is the complete stacktrace:

[error] (web-assets:sass) java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "sass": error=2, No such file or directory

Hello.

I attempted to fix this error in new 0.1.4 version. New version uploaded in ivy-repository.
Change version of sbt-sass from 0.1.3 to 0.1.4 in project/plugins.sbt and try to run your project. Does it work?

[strelec]

I get this error now.

However, this bug (#6) only occurs when I use intelliJ Run (incremental compiler), activator ~run works fine.

So, I guess it might be their failure.

[ShaggyYeti]

Yes. The reason maybe that your IDE doesn't read linux environment variables. You can add path to directory where is placed sass to PATH environment variable in Intellij IDEA. Example here: http://flummox-engineering.blogspot.ru/2013/09/how-to-append-environment-variable-path.html

Thanks.

Maybe we should put a remark about this to the README. Or not, anyone searching for error will get this thread anyway.

[ShaggyYeti]

Good idea. Done ;-)
