rake generate gives error about octopress-flat

[alexharris]

Hi, I am not experiencing this issue. It looks like the errors are occurring in /home/emil/Personal/blog/sass/. Is that where you moved this theme to? Did you already run rake install?

[emilsoman]

I cloned the theme to [blog-source-branch-root]/.themes/octopress-flat. I ran rake install['octopress-flat'] . The errors are seen when I run rake generate after these steps. Where are these classes heading and side-shadow-border defined ?

[alexharris]

They were in various scss files. See this commit: a3675c9

I removed them. Trying pulling, installing, and generating again.

I'll take a pull and update the status. Thanks !

[alexharris]

Cool, let me know how it goes

[emilsoman]

Errors are gone now. Thanks ! But I'm facing another problem and I don't know if it's related to this issue so I don't want to open another one. I'm not able to get the theme working on my octopress blog. You can see the blog's source on GitHub . These are the steps I followed :

$ cd blog
$ git clone git://github.com/alexharris/octopress-flat.git .themes/octopress-flat
$ rake install['octopress-flat']
$ rake preview

There are no errors. Cleared the browser cache and refreshed my preview page and I'm not seeing the flat UI. Is there anything else I need to do ?

Does that workflow work on other themes? I just tried what you said, and it seemed to work, although there seems to be some weirdness around "rake preview". According to the octopress documentation:

rake generate # Generates posts and pages into the public directory
rake watch # Watches source/ and sass/ for changes and regenerates
rake preview # Watches, and mounts a webserver at http://localhost:4000

So maybe rake preview is not the right option. Try doing rake install and then rake generate. For me, this consistently works.

Hey, did this end up working? If so, I'd like to close the issue. Thanks.

@alexharris , sorry for the delay . Yeah rake preivew gives a messed up UI. rake generate works though ( But it's weird that rake preview works on other themes that I've tried ) . This issue can be closed . Thanks !

[alexharris]

Thanks. I'd look into it, but with Octopress 3 on the horizon, I'm reluctant to put much further work into this version.
