Asset Pipeline Undefined Variable SASS

Question

I've been trying to use http://startbootstrap.com/stylish-portfolio and after downloading all files and copying to the directory I'm getting the following error on the partial _bordered-pull:

ActionView::Template::Error (Undefined variable: "$fa-css-prefix".

However the variable is defined and I'm importing (or at least trying) the partial.

My assets/stylesheets directory is the following:

--application.css.scss
--bootstrap.css.scss
--font-awesome.css.scss.erb
--stylish-portfolio.css.scss
--|font-awesome
  --_bordered-pulled.css.scss
  --...(other partials)
  --font-awesome.css.scss

Application.css.scss:

/*
 * This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.css, which will include all the files
 * listed below.
 *
 * Any CSS and SCSS file within this directory, lib/assets/stylesheets, vendor/assets/stylesheets,
 * or vendor/assets/stylesheets of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
 *
 * You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at the top of the
 * compiled file, but it's generally better to create a new file per style scope.
 *
 *= require_self
 *= require_tree .
 */

@import 'font-awesome/font-awesome';
@import 'bootstrap';
@import 'font-awesome';
@import 'stylish-portfolio';

Font-awesome.css.scss

_bordered-pulled.css.scss

// Bordered & Pulled
// -------------------------

.#{$fa-css-prefix}-border {
  padding: .2em .25em .15em;
  border: solid .08em $fa-border-color;
  border-radius: .1em;
}

.pull-right { float: right; }
.pull-left { float: left; }

.#{$fa-css-prefix} {
  &.pull-left { margin-right: .3em; }
  &.pull-right { margin-left: .3em; }
}

Is it a syntax error or did I setup my asset pipeline wrong?

Answer 1

You have to do the following:

Open your project's font-awesome/less/variables.less or font-awesome/scss/_variables.scss and edit the @fa-font-path or $fa-font-path variable to point to your font directory.

Try checking how you are precompiling assets. Check initializers/assets.rb (or it may be environments/production.rb for you) to make sure you are precompiling assets in a friendly way, like this:

config.assets.precompile += ["*.js", "*.scss", "*.jpg", "*.png"]

I was having this same error when it was

config.assets.precompile += [/.*\.png/,/.*\.ico/,/.*\.jpg/,/.*\.js/,/.*\.scss/]
