Using SASS instead of SCSS by default in Rails

Presumably because people love CSS (?) Rails defaults to SCSS when generating stylesheets. I use HAML instead of HTML so SASS is a much better fit.

Add this to config/application.rb:

config.sass.preferred_syntax = :sass

You'll have problems running tasks on Heroku if your sass-rails gem is in the assets gem group now. To fix that, use these lines instead:

if Rails.configuration.respond_to?(:sass)
  Rails.configuration.sass.tap do |config|
    config.preferred_syntax = :sass
  end
end

Thanks.
