unexpected '$' after 'CHILD_SELECTOR' (Nokogiri::CSS::SyntaxError)

How do I debug this?

I ran into the same problem.

[stefl]

Same here. Any solution?

I get Nokogiri::CSS::SyntaxError: unexpected '"' after 'prefix_match', but I suspect it's a similar problem. Maybe there's an error in my css that the browser has heretofore handled gracefully? Seems odd that it would bring the whole thing crashing down though.

[SimonTurner0]

I also have Nokogiri::CSS::SyntaxError: unexpected '"' after 'prefix_match'. Any other gems out there for removing CSS selectors or is this the only one?

[jirutka]

@SimonTurner0 I’ve used mincss instead, but it’s written in Python.
