Sass Invalid CSS Error: "expected expression"
CssSassCss Problem Overview
I've just been following the Sass tutorial. For some reason though the Sass file is not correctly generating the css. The terminal says the css is invalid but I'm pretty sure it's not. I've tried changing it too just in case there was a problem...
What have I done wrong?
Sass Version: Sass 3.1.10
Error message:
error sass/test.sass (Line 3: Invalid CSS after "80%":
expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was ";")
.sass file contents:
/* style.scss */
#navbar {
width: 80%;
height: 23px;
}
Css Solutions
Solution 1 - Css
Based on your error message (error sass/test.sass
) I can tell you're using the .sass
extension for a Scss file. Change your file name to style.scss
.
Sass and Scss use two different and incompatible syntaxes.
Solution 2 - Css
Try either:
/* style.scss */
#navbar {
width: 80%;
height: 23px;
}
Or:
/* style.sass */
#navbar
width: 80%
height: 23px
Note the difference in file extension and syntax.
