Asset Procompile Error

Question

I am deploying my app to Rackspace using Capistrano, and I'm receiving the following error during: assets:precompile

Sass::SyntaxError: Invalid CSS after "    filter: progid": expected ";", was ": DXImageTransf..."

I have searched all over my project for " filter: progid", but it is no where to be found. Where could this be coming from? I've also tried debugging the asset pipeline by using the first answer to this question: How to debug a Rails asset precompile which is unbearably slow

But no more details are being shown in the log. What is going on and what is a good way to debug this?

Here is more from the deploy log:

can you please provide whole error with line number file name `RAILS_ENV=development rake assets:precompile` — Rajarshi Das, Feb 24 '15 at 07:06
Can you put the same line, where you were getting compilation error — user3118220, Feb 24 '15 at 07:06
Please search "DXImageTransf" in /app/assets/stylesheets/application.css then please paste the line as well — user3118220, Feb 24 '15 at 07:59

What was wrong in my case previously:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='$color1')

Then What I did to resolve it:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr="$color1")

Try double quotes "$color"

You might try searching for DXImageTransf, instead, to get you to the offending line. Basically, you've probably just got some bad syntax somewhere in there. I find the best way to "debug" these issues is to not get into them in the first place, by using a full-featured IDE with syntax awareness. I prefer RubyMine, as it has a host of other great features as well (no affiliation, just a happy customer). It will show you both in the project tree view, and in the file editor itself where the errors lie.

I am in fact using RubyMine. Is there a way to search for project wide for all errors? – etayluz Feb 24 '15 at 07:13
https://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/help/navigating-to-next-previous-error.html For me, it shows me files with errors underlined with a squiggly line in the project tree view, and the editor has squiggly underlines as well as red boxes on the right side of "bad" lines. – Brad Werth Feb 24 '15 at 07:16
