Configure grunt-contrib-sass in Yeoman - sass

As I want to use Bourbon, I'm looking forward to remove compass grunt task and use plain sass task, however for some reason it doesn't seems to compile my scss files.
I have the following directory structure:
yeomanApp/
app/
styles/
css/
scss/
My Gruntfile.js looks something like this:
...
grunt.initConfig({
...
sass: {
dist: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles',
src: ['scss/{,*/}*.scss'],
dest: 'css',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
...
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.registerTask('server', function (target) {
if (target === 'dist') {
return grunt.task.run(['build', 'connect:dist:keepalive']);
}
grunt.task.run([
'clean:server',
'concurrent:server',
'sass',
'autoprefixer',
'connect:livereload',
'watch',
]);
});
...
When running this task:
$ grunt sass
Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
Done, without errors.
However, my scss files are not compiled into app/styles/css.
What am I missing?

I think there's a problem:
dest: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles/css',
and should work.

Running old gruntfile grunt-contrib-sass error

Looking for hours, still no luck.. Tried to run a very old Gruntfile (with imagemin and sass) which used to work. Imagemin is working, sass is not.
The error it throws is:
Could not find an option named "include-paths".
Warning: Exited with error code 64 Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
I installed npm. I installed grunt-contrib-sass. I have sass & ruby installed.
where sass gives:
C:\Users..\AppData\Roaming\npm\sass
C:\Users..\AppData\Roaming\npm\sass.cmd
where ruby gives:
C:\Ruby26-x64\bin\ruby.exe
This is a snippet of my Gruntfile, in case you need extra info, I will put it in completely:
sass: {
peter: {
options: {
compress: false,
sourcemap: 'none'
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'peter/css2/',
src: ['**/*.scss'],
dest: 'peter/',
ext: '.css'
}]
},
sots: {
options: {
compress: false,
sourcemap: 'none'
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'sots/css2/',
src: ['**/*.scss'],
dest: 'sots/',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
options: {
includePaths: ['bower_components/foundation/scss']
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-imagemin');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-newer');
//require('jit-grunt')(grunt);
grunt.registerTask('build', ['sass']);
grunt.registerTask('default', ['newer:imagemin', 'sass', 'build']);
}
Never mind, threw out grunt-contrib-sass and replaced it by node-sass

compling mutiple sass files into multiple css in gruntfile.js not working

I have my folder structure as below
-project_folder
sass
vendors
modules
partials
sass1.scss
sass2.scss
css
index.html
I want to compile sass files without compass, using grunt to each seperate css files, (sass1.css , sass2.css)
I tried with the code
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
// SASS config
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'nested',
sourcemap: 'none',
cache: false
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'sass',
src: ['*.scss'],
dest: 'css/'
}]
}
}
});
But this isn't generating the css files. Please provide your solution.

How to make grunt sass preprocessor and livereload fast?

I'm creating a project with project with SCSS. I have scaffolded a project with Yeoman and this far everything has worked fine. Now the SCSS preprocessor and livereload is extremely slow.
This is my Gruntfile.js watch task:
watch: {
sass: {
files: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/_/css/**/*.{scss,sass}'],
tasks: ['sass:server']
},
livereload: {
options: {livereload: true},
files: [
'<%= yeoman.app %>/_/css/**/*.css',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/_/css/*.css',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/_/js/**/*',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/script/*.js',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/_/img/**/*',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/*.php',
'<%= yeoman.app %>/**/*.php'
]
}
}
And this is my watch sass task:
sass: {
server: {
options: {
sourcemap: true,
debugInfo: true,
lineNumbers: true,
style: 'expanded'
},
files : [{
expand: true,
cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>/_/css',
src: '**/*.scss',
dest: '<%= yeoman.app %>/_/css',
ext: '.css'
}]
},
dist: {
...
}
},
I have main.scss file where is most of my css. I tried to make another, smaller .scss file thinking that maybe smaller file loads faster. It is preprocessed almost instantly, but the page is livereloaded only after the main.scss is processed to main.css.
My questions are:
How should I arrange my Gruntfile.js to make livereload faster?
Why is the livereload not launched when smaller-file.scss is preprocessed and saved to disk as smaller-file.css?
How can I make my sass.server function so that it only processes the file which is edited, not all of the files set in the source?
Actually this wasn't about Gruntfile.js at all. I was importing the whole bootstrap on top of my main.scss, so obviously it takes a lot of time to preprocess that.
#import "../bower_components/bootstrap-sass-official/assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss";
Now I just grab the parts of bootstrap I really need.

grunt-contrib-sass prevent sourcemap

My Grunt setup is using sass to compile my .scss files to src/.css and cssmin to combine and minify my src/.css files to main.css.
I want to use the new sourcemap feature in SASS, but I'm not sure if it will really do anything for me considering cssmin will be putting all my css files into the main.css.
Does anyone have any insight into this?
I'm also, for now trying to turn off the sourcemap in grunt-contrib-sass and it won't take. Here's the relevant code in my Gruntfile.js:
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
sourcemap: 'none'
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'stylesheets/scss',
src: ['**/*.scss'],
dest: 'stylesheets/src',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
from: github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-sass
I just had this problem and the other solutions didn't help me. Here's how I fixed it:
options: {
"sourcemap=none": ''
}
Using sass version 3.4.2, and npm update didn't help
I ran into the same problem. As suggested in the above comment by #imjared, updating grunt-contrib-watch and grunt-contrib-sass did the trick.
https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-update.html
Adding sourceMap: true as below solved the problem for me (NB: I'm using grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt.sass')):
sass: {
options: {
includePaths: ['bower_components/foundation/scss'],
imagePath: '/images'
},
dist: {
options: {
outputStyle: 'nested',
sourceMap: true
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'scss',
src: ['[^_]*.scss'],
dest: '../public/css/',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
}
Hope that helps someone.

Getting started with Grunt and sass (partials)

I am just getting started with Grunt and am a bit confused about how to configure my gruntfile.js to recognize changes to sass partial files. I've followed the article on 24ways.org by Chris Coyier and feel pretty comfortable with the basics. When running grunt watch, I can make changes to my style.scss file and grunt will watch and compile changes. However, I typically use style.scss as a long list of #imports:
#import 'partials/partialfilename';
When I make a change to any of my partials grunt does not notice anything has changed and thus nothing is compiled.
Within my project directory I have a sass directory that includes a style.scss file and a partials directory with lots of partials.
here is my grunt file:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// 1. All configuration goes here
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
concat: {
dist: {
src: [
'js/custom.js',
'js/foundation.js',
'js/jquery.listnav.js',
'js/jquery.ioslider.min.js'
],
dest: 'js/build-scripts.js',
}
},
uglify: {
build: {
src: 'js/build-scripts.js',
dest: 'js/build-scripts-min.js'
}
},
imagemin: {
dynamic: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'images/',
src: ['**/*.{png,jpg,gif}'],
dest: 'images/'
}]
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'compressed'
},
files: {
'style.css': 'sass/style.scss'
}
}
},
watch: {
options: {
livereload: true,
},
scripts: {
files: ['js/*.js'],
tasks: ['concat', 'uglify'],
options: {
spawn: false,
}
},
css: {
files: ['sass/**/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass'],
options: {
spawn: false,
}
},
images: {
files: ['images/**/*.{png,jpg,gif}', 'images/*.{png,jpg,gif}'],
tasks: ['imagemin'],
options: {
spawn: false,
}
}
}
});
// 3. Where we tell Grunt we plan to use this plug-in.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-imagemin');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
// 4. Where we tell Grunt what to do when we type "grunt" into the terminal.
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch', 'concat', 'uglify', 'imagemin', 'sass']);
};
I have tried a few different options for the watch css arguments such as:
css: {
files: ['sass/**/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass'],
options: {
spawn: false
}
}
and
css: {
files: ['sass/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass'],
options: {
spawn: false
}
}
I realize that I may be 'missing the point' here, I have read a bit about the grunt sass plugin 'ignoring' (_) underscores or partials because of the sass globbing rule (?) and through my research I have noticed that most people are using compass in their projects which I am not.
So, again my question is: How can I configure grunt to watch and compile changes to my sass partials and compile my css correctly?
I have found a solution.
css: {
files: ['sass/*.scss'],
files: ['sass/partials/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass'],
options: {
spawn: false,
}
}
