Mixin container takes 0 arguments but 2 were passed
Question: I am trying to future-proof the css in a [zinnia](http://django-blog-
zinnia.com/)-django blog using [compass](http://compass-style.org/),
[susy](http://susy.oddbird.net/), and [sass](http://sass-lang.com/). I have
successfully copied my zinnia templates into `/var/www/static/zinnia` by
running `python manage.py collectstatic`. Then I edit a sass file, `cd` to
`/var/www/static/zinnia/`, and run `compass compile`. This produces the
following errors and causes my blog to not render with css anymore!

    
    
    error sass/screen.scss (Line 27 of sass/partials/_layouts.scss: Mixin container takes 0 arguments but 2 were passed.) #from running compass compile in shell
    

On the top of my blog webpage appears the following in firefox:

    
    
    Syntax error: Mixin container takes 0 arguments but 2 were passed.
         on line 27 of /var/www/static/zinnia/sass/partials/_layouts.scss, in `container'
         from line 27 of /var/www/static/zinnia/sass/partials/_layouts.scss
         from line 20 of /var/www/static/zinnia/sass/screen.scss
    

[Relevant zinnia code is visible on
github.](https://github.com/Fantomas42/django-blog-
zinnia/tree/master/zinnia/static/zinnia) At present the code is a virtual
mirror of the github repository. Here is [line
27](https://github.com/Fantomas42/django-blog-
zinnia/blob/master/zinnia/static/zinnia/sass/partials/_layouts.scss#L27),
where this error seems to be originating from.

Line 27 of _layouts.scss:

    
    
        @include container($total-columns, $screen-layout);
    

As a clue I was able to learn [this](https://github.com/Fantomas42/django-
blog-zinnia/issues/241). However, I would prefer to use the latest gem
versions available to me. I do not know if this compiles with older gems, but
the answer to this piece of the puzzle is a bit tangential (though useful).
Thus, I need an answer that will me to compile without errors.

Thank you for your help.


Answer: I ran into the same error, even with the order of importing compass before
susy. What fixed it for me was uninstalling [this no-longer-used gem: compass-
susy-plugin](https://github.com/ericam/compass-susy-plugin).
