Watch imported SCSS files, shorthand notation

[zedzedzed]

Hi - Koala doesn't appear to be watching over imported SCSS files with the shorthand notation, see http://sass-lang.com/tutorial.html#id1

As an example, only the second line will be watched for modifications from below:

master.scss

@import "global/variables";
@import "global/_normalize.scss";

This issue is unrelated to #24

I was tested, both of two files are watched.
test command: sass --watch style.scss:style.css
sass version: 3.2.7

Not for me, I'm using Koala 1.4.1 on OSX 10.8.4. Is there a log that I can use to help troubleshoot?

Current test case:

• test/master.scss (contents as above)
• test/global/_variables.scss
• test/global/_normalize.scss

Told Koala to watch the test directory but it won't act on changes to _variables.scss.

Whether you don't want to watch the imported file which without specifying
a file extension?

http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#import

The link suggests that you can omit the extension and it will try both .scss and .sass files for import. The _ means it is a partial. I was wondering shouldn't changes to these files trigger it to be recompiled? Eg, in the _variables.scss case, you can have colour, sizing, font (and more) definitions so surely changes should trigger a recompile? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[oklai]

You mean that the "variables" file does not be watched? Which version of your koala, I have tested it in the latest version, "variables" has been watched, when "variables" file changes, it will trigger "master.scss" recompile.

[zedzedzed]

Yep _variables.scss not watched when imported like:

@import "global/variables";

I've done some more testing and hopefully this makes it easier to replicate, files are:

/master.scss
/includes/_test1.scss
/includes/_test2.scss
/includes/_test3.scss
/includes/_test4.scss

master.scss

@import "includes/test1";           // no
@import "includes/_test2.scss";     // works
@import "includes/test3.scss";      // no
@import "includes/_test4";          // works

From my testing above, it appears that imported files are watched if they have the filename spelled out exactly (extensions can be omitted). From above, _test2.scss and _test4.scss are watched, the others are not. Not sure if this is a Sass or Koala thing... According to the Sass docs, the _ is omittable.

I get it. @import "includes/test" the real imported file is "_test.scss". If there are two files "_test.scss" and "test.scss" at the same time, Sass is preferred to use "_test.scss".
I'll fix it in next version, thank you for your feedback. ^-^
