grace's Issues

cli switches for name and type

It would be nice to be able to skip the prompts and use --name and --type to specify these from the cli

Grace installation fails on Win32 because it can't compile libsass

See sass/libsass-python#20

This stops developers on Win32 from using grace.

Is there a way to provide a compiled version of libsass?

Parse error output

Hi there
I added a little sth to better find parse errors of the config file:
in config.py I changed:
def parse_config_file(self, config_file):
strings = []
self.linenumber = 0
print 'config file is: '+str(config_file) +'we start at line: '+str(self.linenumber)
for line in config_file:
self.linenumber += 1
if not re.search('^\s//._', line):
strings.append(line)

    try:
        return load_json(''.join(strings))
    except:
        print 'error is at: ' +str(self.linenumber)+' line is ' + line
        raise WrongFormatError('The provided configuration file could not be parsed.')

I'm not sure if I should push it. these are my very first steps in python so there is probably a better way to do it...

Grace install failing due to libsass dependency on new Mac

See the following for a pip grace install log from a new Mac OS X 10.9.2 install with latest Xcode 5.1. It shows a failing install due to the libsass dependency:

./manage build produces wrong css

E.g. input:

.. url('images/checkbox/front_unchecked.svg') left top/25px 25px no-repeat;

Then output:

.. url('images/checkbox/back_unchecked.svg') left "top/25px" 25px no-repeat;

Where "top/25px" is invalid CSS - it should be top/25px; fix!

Disclaimer still needed?

The readme starts with:

DOES NOT WORK COMPLETELY YET! PLEASE ONLY USE TO TEST OR TRY OUT! THIS NOTICE WILL BE REMOVED AS SOON AS I THINK IT HAS REACHED A PRODUCTIVE POINT.

Has a productive point been reached? What needs done before this can be removed?

Windows-ize grace

grace is installed as a normal py script in the Scripts dir on Windows but all the other items there are have both an exe and a renamed py script which allow for them to be easily accessed at the command prompt. It would be nice to have this same level of windows support for grace.

The `./manage zip` command does not compress

The ./manage zip command creates DZM files which are too big: If a rename a DZM file to a ZIP file, uncompress and recompress (using default compression of 6) then my sample was reduced from 1.7Mb down to 630Kb.

Handling `project.cfg` is cumbersome due to `deployment_path`

To enable proper deploying I've to set the deployment_path to a correct value; but this means that git status keeps complaining about the fact that my project.cfg has been edited. To suppress this I use git update-index --assume-unchanged project.cfg.

But sometimes I have to edit the project.cfg, like when I want to increase the version entry: Then I've to "unignore" the configuration file via git update-index --no-assume-unchanged project.cfg, undo my deployment_path change, edit my desired changed, commit, redo my deployment_path change, and "ignore" the file via again git update-index --assume-unchanged project.cfg.

This workflow is too cumbersome! Suggestion: Use a environment variable like DIZMO_SPACE_DEPLOYMENT_PATH and if this would not be possible [like on Win(32|64)?] use a .grace.cfg to avoid setting the deployment-path in each project.cfg.
