Rendering '@charset "UTF-8";' gives an error.

Originally reported at sass/node-sass#23. node-sass module uses libsass.

When I try to use it, it outputs 'undefined'

var sass = require('node-sass');

sass.render('@charset "UTF-8";', function(err, css){
    console.log(css)
});

The node-sass developer confirms that the problem originates from libsass. He says the following error is displayed when he tries to use sassc (https://github.com/hcatlin/sassc) to render @charset "UTF-8";:

ERROR -- test.scss, line 1: top-level blockless directive must be terminated by ';'

Confirmed.

Will work on the issue this week -- however, please be aware that for the time being, the "fix" will be to ignore the directive. As long as your SCSS files are UTF-8 they should work fine; we're still looking into how to handle different encodings.

[kadishmal]

Yes, I don't actually care about encodings either. All I want is the successful build.

What's the status of this bug? Thanks.

[akhleung]

Just made the fix (i.e. ignoring the directive for now)! Sorry for the delay; other issues took prioritiy.

Nice, thank you! Now I just need those changes to get into node-sass. :-)
