Yeoman/Grunt - Compiling SASS files in subfolder - css

Question

This is my folder structure:
All the sass files that are in the styles folder (e.g. newStyles.sass) are being compiled, but the sass files in the myUi folder (e.g. nuclearMed.sass) are not.
I changed to {,*/}* with /**/* in my Gruntfile.js, but it is still only looking one-level down. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
This is my Gruntfile.js
// Generated on 2013-08-28 using generator-webapp 0.4.1
'use strict';
var LIVERELOAD_PORT = 35729;
var lrSnippet = require('connect-livereload')({port: LIVERELOAD_PORT});
var mountFolder = function (connect, dir) {
return connect.static(require('path').resolve(dir));
};
// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'
// use this if you want to recursively match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// show elapsed time at the end
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// load all grunt tasks
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
// configurable paths

app: 'app',

I think I see your problem
"Compass operates on a folder level. Because of this you don't specify any src/dest, but instead define the sassDir and cssDir options."
compass: {
options: {
sassDir: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles/**/*.js',
cssDir: '.tmp/styles',
Globbing isn't supported by the sassDir config var. You can however use globbing in the specify config if needed:
