Import file not found or unreadable: compass / css3 when compiling a finished .SCSS file

Question

I recently downloaded a finished project and it has scss files on it. when I tried to compile the main.scss file with koala-app , it gives me this error.

C: \ Users \ 1 \ Desktop \ agency \ sass \ main.scss Syntax error: file to import was not found or unreadable: compass / css3.

Load paths: C:/Program Files (x86)/Koala (DEPRECATED) C:/Users/1/Desktop/agency/sass on line 2 of C:\Users\1\Desktop\agency\sass\partials\_base.scss from line 4 of C:\Users\1\Desktop\agency\sass\main.scss Use --trace for backtrace. 

By the way, line 4: @import "compass / css3";

I have already installed:

 ruby 1.9.3p545 gem 1.8.28 

main.scss

 // MAIN // all modules, general styles and variables @import "partials/base"; @import "partials/general"; // third-party @import "vendors/supersized"; @import "vendors/font-awesome.min"; @import "vendors/brankic-icon"; @import "vendors/flexslider"; @import "vendors/animate"; @import "vendors/jpreloader"; @import "vendors/magnific-popup"; // web elements/components @import "partials/hero-unit"; @import "partials/about"; @import "partials/services"; @import "partials/works"; @import "partials/call-to-action"; @import "partials/team"; @import "partials/testimonial"; @import "partials/contact"; @import "partials/twitter-stream"; @import "partials/footer"; 

_base.scss

 /* ------------------ BASE STYLES ------------------ */ // import compass @import "compass/css3"; // all variables 

any suggestions would be really appreciated .. thanks (note: new to sass :)

Answer 1

what i did was create a new sass project using the ruby ​​command line "compass create newproject" and then transfer the files there. then it worked. I really did not solve the problem, I thought, but for some reason I found a way to make it work. heres the link for reference.
