SASS assets don't load the way Sprocket loads them

[zinkkrysty]

I can't use rails helpers within .sass files or import external libraries that belong to a gem (e.g. Bourbon)

My .sass file looks like this:

@import 'bourbon'
@import 'variables'

.text
  color: $my_color_1
  background-color: $my_color_2
  background-image: image-url('email/email_bg_blue.jpg')
  @include inline_block

The external library is not that important (I need it because I include some mixins in my _variables.css.sass file) - this can be fixed by a refactor in my code

But the important part is being able to use Rails' asset helpers like image-url because we use cloud asset hosting and can't hard-code the path to the image background in the .sass file.

I'll need to think about this. It's not immediately obvious to me how I'm going to solve that. Digging around in the Rails code should reveal the answer... eventually.

Sure, take your time, it's not that critical :)

I just found this post, maybe it's of help. I'll investigate the issue my self as well and keep you up-to-date.
