Error when building: discourse does not support compiling scss/sass files via sprockets

I found out this error when I opened my web preparing to initiate the site. I didn’t know how to fix it, any one can help me pls

You got this error when doing a standard install? Or you are rebuilding a site that was working?

How much ram and swap do you have?

Development version, I think I only got 2GB ram…

Not rebuilding, I am now building the site

So Install Discourse for development using Docker or a native install?

I don’t think you can have a development machine with just 2gb.

native install…

The thing is that I want to install discourse for production, but my machine cannot support docker install as the swap is not enough. So I changed to development and I initally thought I can do this on a 2gb ram machine LOL

If you want people who are not sitting at your computer to use it, you want a production install. If you can’t increase your swap to at least 2GB (which you should be able to do) then you’ll need to use a different VM.

I am getting this error when configuring Auth0 with discourse! can anyone help

i have this issue too in my mac intel. I try native macos installation and in docker too. Both same issue.

Do you have any plugins installed?

No, i simply was going to do a clean dev install. That happens just after admin account created and trying to go first time to localhost:3000. I am also in a mac recently installed.

wait, just when i was writing the reply i saw myswlf i was using port 3000 and not 4200, i just tried port 4200 and it works. Maybe the other user that started the thread had same problem.

This article helped for me Guide to Setting Up Discourse Development Environment - Windows 11

It appears that you should run this:

DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME=localhost UNICORN_LISTENER=localhost:3000 bin/ember-cli -u

it starts:

  1. rails server
  2. sidekiq
  3. ember-cli

And discourse becomes available at localhost:4200

It’s a shame that this is not mentioned in DEVELOPMENT-OSX-NATIVE nor in DEVELOPER-ADVANCED.md
