error compiling susy2 with gulp

I have a very simple gulp based test environment using only sass and the susy2 gem - no compass because compass is no longer a dependency of susy 2

The error i'm getting is 

...sass/susy/language/susy/settings:8:error: error reading values after container

line 8 of the problem file, susy's settings is as follows:

@include susy-defaults((
  container: auto, <- line 8
  math: fluid,
  output: float,
  container-position: center,
  gutter-position: after,
  global-box-sizing: content-box,
  debug: (
    image: hide,
    color: rgba(#66f, .25),
    output: background,
    toggle: top right,
    inspect: false,
  ),
));

I'm using sass version 3.4, which should support the sass maps syntax, and gulp-sass version 0.7.3. along with susy 2.1.3.

Any idea why im getting this error?

gulp-sass is actually a wrapper around Node-sass, which again is a library that provides binding for Node.js to libsass, the C version of the popular stylesheet preprocessor, Sass.

It allows you to natively compile .scss files to css at incredible speed and automatically via a connect middleware.

As this node-sass page says:

"..The libsass library is not currently at feature parity with the 3.2 Ruby Gem that most Sass users will use, and has little-to-no support for 3.3 syntax. While we try our best to maintain feature parity with libsass, we can not enable features that have not been implemented in libsass yet."

So it does not matter which version of sass you have installed, because gulp-sass is not using it.

The problem that arises with susy2 is that of, libsass currently not supporting some of features susy2 exposes.

The way I resolved this issue, was using gulp-ruby-sass instead of gulp-sass, which is slower but more feature-rich. And will work with Susy2.

You must update SASS to later than 3.3. Current version of SASS as of this writing is 3.4.1 Selective Steve. Type sass -v in your terminal (assuming OSX) to see what version of SASS you are currently on.
