Is there a Ruby Gem that Decompresses CSS?

Found myself in situation, where I need to decompress CSS through Middleware..(IE *cough *cough)

I've Googled, RubyGem'd, Github'd and haven't found anything

It seems solutions are a one way ticket. They compress (minify) but dont uncompress (unminify)

I hope I'm wrong, is there anything out there that can do this??

Its highly unlikely that you really want to be decompressing assets on every IE request. Imagine firing up a JS runtime for every request just to compile less. Instead, consider storing a second copy of the assets that are uncompressed and can be served statically.

You may want to determine what about compiling your assets causes a problem with IE. It may be a bug in the compression software or you may need to change settings or to a different minifier. Or better yet, it could be an indication that you have a syntax error in your CSS that other browsers are forgiving you for when compressed, and IE is not.

It might be worth explaining the specific issue you are having with IE and then talk about solving that problem.
