Here's the problem. I followed the instructions to add SASS parsing to Sails.js from here. Next, I thought that I wanted the Compass mixins, so I added Compass instead. I followed the same steps, and here is the thing: Everything just works fine! Except one little (annoying) thing, on the terminal, when lifting sails (starting the server), I get this error:
error: Grunt ::
error: Grunt ::
No message at all, and always two times. When I change a file while the server is up, again two times the same error. I guess that's because Grunt.js is watching any file changes, but I can't figure it out why this happens. This is my Gruntfile.js:
/**
* Gruntfile
*
* If you created your Sails app with `sails new foo --linker`,
* the following files will be automatically injected (in order)
* into the EJS and HTML files in your `views` and `assets` folders.
*
* At the top part of this file, you'll find a few of the most commonly
* configured options, but Sails' integration with Grunt is also fully
* customizable. If you'd like to work with your assets differently
* you can change this file to do anything you like!
*
* More information on using Grunt to work with static assets:
* http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks

I repeat again, everything just works, but it gives this error. It could be a issue in the compass module, but I really don't know how to detect that. Thanks.
