Compass is outputting a backtrace in the CSS instead of generating the CSS. I have had the same results for Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux 12.0 I have tested this on Compass 0.12.2 AND 0.11.1 and I tested this on Ruby 1.9.3p385 AND 1.9.1P378.

My config.rb file:

# Require any additional compass plugins here.
http_path = "/n4"
css_dir = "css"
sass_dir = "sass"
images_dir = "images"
javascripts_dir = "js"
# relative_assets = true
output_style = :compact #or :nested, :expanded, :compressed
line_comments = false    

 # Disable these for production (also when viewing in IE6; will cause unnecessary display errors)
 # sass_options = {:debug_info => true}

The contents of the CSS file:

/*
Syntax error: Undefined mixin 'linear-gradient'.
    on line 305 of C:/Users/bens/workspace/n4e/src/main/webapp/sass/screen.sass, in `linear-gradient'

Linear-gradient isn't a mixin in Compass. It is a function that's intended to be used in combination with the background or background-image mixins.

  • [linear-gradient](http://bourbon.io/docs/#linear-gradient) exists as a Bourbon mixin. You can use [bourbon-compass](https://github.com/jedfoster/bourbon-compass) to integrate Bourbon with Compass. – Batandwa Jan 13 '14 at 10:07

You're seeing that message because you have an error in your SASS file. When there are errors, SASS will output the error, a back trace (as you've noticed) and a CSS rule prepending the error before the <body> tag.
