Sass::SyntaxError on a basic style (RoR Project)

I am pretty experienced frontend developer and recently I got a project to make a UI for a ruby on rails project, it uses sass, I am not at all strange to sass, but I get a really weird error.

ABSOLUTELY whatever I input in the projects SASS file it throws an error, here is a screenshot http://screencast.com/t/MxdHmL9O5o

when empty the file is compiled into a application.css, but I am completely clueless about what could be awry here.

If you need more details please feel free to ask.

Thanks a lot!

If you're using SCSS format, defined by using brackets in your CSS in favor of whitespace indentation, you should be using the .css.scss extension, not the .css.sass extension.

From the Sass homepage:

Sass has two syntaxes. The most commonly used syntax is known as “SCSS” (for “Sassy CSS”), and is a superset of CSS3’s syntax. This means that every valid CSS3 stylesheet is valid SCSS as well. SCSS files use the extension .scss.

The second, older syntax is known as the indented syntax (or just “.sass”). Inspired by Haml’s terseness, it’s intended for people who prefer conciseness over similarity to CSS. Instead of brackets and semicolons, it uses the indentation of lines to specify blocks. Files in the indented syntax use the extension .sass.
