Asset subdirectories should compile to local path

[cbornhoft]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this works but i'll see if I can explain first.

The default location for assets is <app-name>/public/assets, which then copy to <app-name>/dist/assets upon building. The problem lies in setting the default directories for any assets within ember-cli-compass-compiler.

Compass sets the font directory to /fonts by default. This causes warnings upon every build: WARNING: 'font.ttf' was not found in <app-name>/fonts but the fonts are found and work as expected in the browser.

To remove these warnings, I set the --fonts-dir option to public/assets/fonts. But compiling doesn't remove the public/assets portion, so naturally the browser can't find the font in <app-name>/dist/assets/public/assets/fonts.

Proposal: To me the default for ember-cli-compass-compiler should be public/assets/fonts which then compiles to fonts, since <app-name>.css already sits in the assets directory. This would remove the warnings and work as expected. Either that or like I said, I'm misunderstanding how to set the defaults properly.

An example repo demonstrating the issue would be great. Can you submit that?

@cbornhoft ping.

I was having the same issue and found a solution.

Goto root of ember project path

$ compass config

edit config/compass.rb and add

images_dir = "public/assets/images"
http_images_path = "/assets/images"

fonts_dir = "public/assets/fonts"
http_fonts_path = "assets/fonts"

javascripts_dir = "assets/"

generated_images_dir = "public/assets/images/sprites"
http_generated_images_path = "assets/images/sprites"

don't forget to add
public/assets/images/sprites
to .gitignore

@quaertym maybe this can be part of README?

@quaertym Sorry I've been tied up with other parts of the project. I can make an example repo if you'd like. Though I found the solution to the problem is the same as @designblooz

Only the config.rb setup allows use of the http_ options. If added to the compassOptions object, the build process throws errors that those properties are unknown.

Is there any way to be able to add the http_ options into the compassOptions object? I realize these don't seem to be command line options, which that object translates to, so I'm not sure how easily that could be implemented, if at all.
