CSS Lint for Sass & Compass

Easily integrate CSS Lint into your projects that use the Compass CSS Framework

This project is maintained by Comcast

About

Easily integrate Nicholas C. Zakas and Nicole Sullivan's CSS Lint into your projects that use the Compass CSS Framework by providing a compass csslint command line option.

Installation

There is currently a bug in Compass that prevents external Compass commands from being registered if they're required in a project's config.rb file. So until that is resolved, you'll have to build this custom version of Compass that includes compass-csslint:

https://github.com/Comcast/compass

Clone that project, then from the root run

$ gem build compass.gemspec

Be sure to take note of the .gem filename

Once that builds, you'll need to first uninstall your existing Compass gem

$ gem uninstall compass

And then install your locally-built version of Compass

$ gem install compass-0.12.2.<hash>.gem

Be sure to use the actual filename that the build command created.

Once that is installed, you can safely install compass-csslint:

$ gem install compass-csslint

Usage

Run the following command from the root of your Compass project:

$ compass csslint

To view options:

$ compass csslint --help

For a bare-bones sample project to see this in action, checkout the compass-csslint-sample repo

To run CSS Lint without Compass, you can use the standalone ruby gem:

$ gem install css_lint_ruby
