Grunt compass not compiling and not responding

Question

It seems that my grunt-contrib-compass is not working as it should, I'm trying to use:

grunt compass:dev

And the output is:

Running "compass:dev" (compass) task

But nothing happen at all, and I got no errors neither

On my Gruntfile.js I have:

compass: {
  dev: {
    options: {
      sassDir: 'src/assets/sass',
      cssDir: 'src/assets/css',
      imagesDir: 'assets/images',
      outputStyle: 'nested',
      environment: 'development',
      force: true
    }
  },
  dist: {
    options: {
      sassDir: 'src/assets/sass',
      cssDir: 'src/assets/css',
      imagesDir: 'assets/images',
      outputStyle: 'compressed',
      noLineComments: true,
      environment: 'production'
    }
  }
}

Using:

grunt compass:dev --verbose

I got:

Running "compass:dev" (compass) task
Verifying property compass.dev exists in config...OK

File: [no files]
Options: sassDir="src/assets/sass/", cssDir="src/assets/css",` imagesDir="assets/images", outputStyle="nested", environment="development",`

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Got exactly the same problem but for different reasons.

A good troubleshooting is to make sure compass it's running fine alone. You can try this command on your terminal

compass compile your_sass_file.scss

mine gave a weird error message

Interrupt on line ["18"] of /Users/mynamehere/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.3/gems/compass-rails-2.0.0/lib/compass-rails.rb: 
[...]

It turns out compass-rails-2.0.0 needed to be upgraded to make it work

Hope that helps someone
