Invalid CSS after "$center-headings: "

[TiTi]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the genesis-theme for Octopress 3.0 on windows, but it doesn't build out of the box because of a SASS / variable issue :

C:\Users\TiTi\Desktop\octo3>jekyll build
WARN: Unresolved specs during Gem::Specification.reset:
      jekyll-watch (~> 1.1)
WARN: Clearing out unresolved specs.
Please report a bug if this causes problems.
Configuration file: C:/Users/TiTi/Desktop/octo4/_config.yml

      Generating...
jekyll 2.5.3 | Error:  Invalid CSS after "$center-headings: ": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was ";"

C:\Users\TiTi\Desktop\octo3>

Note: I had to reference octopress-genesis rather than octopress-genesis-theme to bypass a first error, see #9 :

gems:
  - octopress-genesis

I tried to octopress ink copy theme and edit files to go further.
I've edited _plugins\theme\stylesheets\index.scss to force :

$center-headings: true;

(despite the fact it is already setted to true in theme\config.yml)

And yep that's it, jekyll build is now working correctly.
So I guess the variable {{ theme.center-headings }} isn't available for some reason...

FWIW, I get this same thing on FreeBSD, so it's not a Windows thing.

octopress-genesis-theme (0.0.3)

Maybe I'll look at the source tomorrow...

Interestingly on the master branch this setting is now hardcoded to false, but in the 0.0.3 released gem it's still variable using Liquid (and broken because not initialized by default).

Also in the 0.0.3 gem the variable defined in the included config.yml is center_headings, not center-headings, which is why it's not defined when you might think it should be. This has been removed in master.

I have a patch that allows it to still be variable using Liquid templating logic, but defaulting to false as in master. I'm not sure if this should also be updated in demo, which currently has the variable hardcoded to true, because I'm not clear how demo is used.

I came across the same error on Yosemite

This should be solved in the latest release.
