Set stylesheet_engine to sass in rails 3.2.3

Question

I'd like to use SASS as my default stylesheet engine instead of SCSS. In my Gemfile I have

gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 3.2.3'

I also have

config.generators.stylesheet_engine = :sass

in my config/application.rb. However, when I run rails g scaffold --help, it says

-se, [--stylesheet-engine=STYLESHEET_ENGINE]  # Engine for Stylesheets
                                              # Default: scss

So it still seems to think that scss is the default.

Do I have to do something else to use SASS?

Answer 1

From my understanding sass-rails will automatically use the sass syntax if you use the .sass extension.

Edit: To set the default syntax for the generator you will need to add

config.sass.preferred_syntax = :sass

to config/application.rb
