[12:38:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> is to document how to get sass to generate the css for a sklin
[12:38:16 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and clone that into a CSS based skin
[12:38:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> for people that don't want to deal with sass
[12:39:13 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah that sounds like a good plan
[15:59:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> EricDalquist: could you sanity check this for me? i'm sure i'm doing something stupid
[15:59:26 CDT(-0500)] <athena> mvn org.jasig.maven:sass-maven-plugin:watch -DoutputDirectory=/usr/local/tomcat_instances/up3/webapps/uPortal -Dskin=uportal3
[15:59:39 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i'm getting: The parameters 'outputDirectory', 'skin' for goal org.jasig.maven:sass-maven-plugin:1.0.0:watch are missing or invalid
[15:59:39 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that seems reasonable
[15:59:46 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh
[15:59:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[15:59:52 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just a sec
[15:59:55 CDT(-0500)] <athena> sure
[16:00:02 CDT(-0500)] <athena> figured i'd missed something obvious
[16:00:17 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> prefix both with watch.
[16:00:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> oh!
[16:00:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so -Dwatch.skin
[16:00:31 CDT(-0500)] <athena> excellent, thanks 
[16:02:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ah, actually watch.output, there we go
[16:02:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> neato
[16:02:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[16:02:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sadly only one skin at a time
[16:02:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> so the way this works w/ specifying skin name
[16:02:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena> how is that mapped?
[16:02:37 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sass keeps some sort of shared state on the file system
[16:02:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> best match
[16:02:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena> can you specify common?
[16:02:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it knows about all the "sass templates" it finds using the ant path matching
[16:03:02 CDT(-0500)] <athena> oh ok
[16:03:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and then you specify part of the directory name the skin is in
[16:03:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> https://github.com/Jasig/sass-maven-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jasig/maven/plugin/sass/AbstractSassMojo.java#L66
[16:03:25 CDT(-0500)] <athena> thanks so much
[16:03:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i need to go find somewhere useful to document this
[16:03:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:03:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I wasn't really sure ...
[16:03:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you could document some of it on github
[16:03:53 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i guess this part can go in the manual, since it applies to 4.0 as well
[16:03:56 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> via pages for the project
[16:03:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but the up stuff
[16:04:01 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah it can go in the manual
[16:04:10 CDT(-0500)] <athena> but you're right, probably some should go in the project too
[16:04:14 CDT(-0500)] <athena> anyway, progress!
[16:04:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yay
[16:05:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> going to see if I can look at that login report toninight
[16:05:33 CDT(-0500)] <athena> awesome
