Getting CSS error when testing Rails app with Capybara

Question

I'm getting an error I can't correct when testing with Rspec and Capybara in my rails app.

Failure/Error: visit('/') ActionView::Template::Error: Invalid CSS after " text-indent:": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was "}"

It says the error is occurring in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css. I have nothing in there as of yet and cannot locate the issue. I think the error(based on what I've read) may have something to do with my css or scss file extensions. I've tinkered with them a bit with no change so here I am asking for help.

My registration_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe  "Signing Up" do
  it "allows a user to sign up for the site and creates the object in the database" do
    expect(User.count).to eq(0)

    visit('/')
    expect(page).to have_content("Sign Up")
    click_link "Sign Up"

    fill_in "First Name",            with: "John"
    fill_in "Last Name",             with: "Smith"
    fill_in "Password",              with: "password123"
    fill_in "Password Confirmation", with: "password123"
    click_button "Sign Up"


    expect(User.count).to eq(1)

  end
end

Here's my style.css

#about {
  background: #efeddf;
  padding: 20px;
  border: 2px solid #57645d;
}

#about-content {
  text-align: left;

#recent-article li a {

.bit-25 { width:25%}

/* Landscape mobile & down */

  .bit-4,
  .bit-6,
  .bit-8,
  .bit-10,
  .bit-12 {

  }

  .bit-1,
  .bit-2,

/* Landscape to small desktop */
@media (min-width: 50em) and (max-width: 68.750em) {
  .bit-2,
  .bit-7 {
    width: 100%
  }

  .bit-4,
  .bit-8,
  .bit-10,
  .bit-12 {
    width: 50%
  }
}

Im still pretty new at all this so any help/and or criticisms would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you need the user controller or user model let me know. I didn't post it because I'm fairly sure the problem doesn't lie there. — Mark Hustad

Your style.css is invalid which is causing following error:

Failure/Error: visit('/') ActionView::Template::Error: Invalid CSS after " text-indent:": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was "}"

In your style.css, for class .bit-75, you forgot to set value of text-indent property

.bit-75 {
  background: white;
  padding: 20px;
  text-align: left;
  border: 5px solid #57645d;
  color: #606e67;
  text-indent:     // <-- set a value here for eg : 10px;
}
