Sencha Theming with Compass and Sass not working - sass

I am trying to build a custom theme. I added the $base-color and $base_gradient properties to my resources/sass/app.scss and compiled it by issuing compass compile from the folder. The compilation worked and replaced the css/app.csss. However I am not seeing the changes reflected in my application. How do I change the theme with sass and compass?

Base gradient takes a - not a _
Then check that your var are defined after the line (should not matter for base-color but better to put them after)
#import 'sencha-touch/default/all';
Your vars should be defined like this :
$base-color: #7A1E08;
$base-gradient: 'glossy';
Check that you are in the [app-folder]/resources/sass/app.css and not in the sdk folder
When compiling you should see the following line
overwrite ../css/app.css
Empty your browser cache then reload your app.

{N} 6.0 migration: partial .scss files are now compiled separately

I’m upgrading my project to {N} 6.0 and had been using the nativescript-dev-sass plug-in. I realize the .scss files are now handled by WebPack, but I have a partial file (i.e., begins with an underscore since it’s #imported by other, platform-specific files), but I’m getting a build error stating that the variables referenced in the file are not defined, which suggests the file is being processed by the scss transpiler as a stand-alone file.
WARNING in ./views/_app-config-page.common.scss
Module build failed (from ../node_modules/sass-loader/lib/loader.js):
font-size: $apphdr-font-size;
^
Undefined variable: "$apphdr-font-size".
in /Users/david/Documents/NativeScriptProjects/cflclt/app/views/_app-config-page.common.scss (line 36, column 14)
# \b_[\w-]*\.)scss)$ (. sync (?<!\bApp_Resources\b.*)\.(xml|css|js|(?<!\.d\.)ts|(?<!\b_[\w-]*\.)scss)$) ./views/_app-config-page.common.scss
# ./app.js
Is there something extra or different I need to do for partial .scss files in {N} 6.0?
The file name was the problem, or at least the cause of the error. When I changed the file name from
_app-config-page.common.scss
to
_app-config-page-common.scss
the build error went away. It appears this is a difference between WebPack's sass-loader and the previously used, now deprecated, nativescript-dev-sass plug-in.

Watch a folder, use a specific entry point, then output a single css file

I have a folder of SCSS files. The main SCSS file is /css/app.scss. It imports all the other SCSS files, like /css/variables.scss and /css/component_a.scss.
How can I have sass watch my /css/ folder for any changes, then recompile starting from /css/app.scss?
Right now it errors since /css/component_a.scss uses variables defined in a different file. But in app.scss they are imported in the correct order.
My answer may be limited because I don't have all the information about how you are compiling sass and what settings you are using.
However I can see that your file names aren't prefixed with an underscore, basically sass will compile every file individually that doesn't have the '_' prefix.
Basically what you want to do is set up your task manager (grunt, gulp, etc) to watch all files ending with '.scss' then tell it to run the sass compile task and have this pointed at your app.scss file.
With the limited information I have from your question I hope that my answer points you in the right direction to solve your problem.

Include SASS file from either remote host or absolute directory

I have a mixins file, which I constantly develop. I use it in every project, but sometimes I need to go back and I not always remember to copy the new file, so it causes confusion (plus, it's really counterproductive, having to copy a single file to each project).
What I thought today, that it would be great if I could import a scss file either from remote hos (a dropbox url) or an absolute path. I tried using this:
#import 'F:/XAMPP/htdocs/RATIUG/ratiug/reset';
and
#import 'http://myDropboxLink';
but neither worked. Can I solve this somehow?
When Sass encounters #import with a protocol, it assumed that is a CSS directive. So, you have to precise a shared folder.
Solution with Sass
If you uses Sass in standalone mode, you can add the --load-path argument to precise the shared folder:
$ sass --load-path F:/XAMPP/htdocs/RATIUG styles.scss
Now, you can call your reset mixin:
#import "ratiug/reset";
Solution with Compass
Simply add the shared path in your config.rb with add_import_path:
sass_dir = "sass"
css_dir = "css"
add_import_path File.expand_path("F:/XAMPP/htdocs/RATIUG")

yeoman, SCSS, bower server, styles/main.css not found

I wanted today to try scss support of yeoman.
I followed the procedure :
$ yo angular
include Twitter Bootstrap? Yes
use the SCSS version of Twitter Bootstrap with the Compass CSS Authoring Framework? Yes
$ grunt server
And then the default view load but without style formatting. In the console I can see that it cannot find /styles/main.css file.
I have seen that compass put the file in .tmp/styles/main.css, so I tried to change it in index.html. But the same. Moreover there is no .tmp directory in my project folder.
So I ran "grunt build" and loaded the index.html in dist directory in a MAMP server. Same, no css formatting, moreover no error in the console
You shouldn't be putting the '.tmp' path anywhere in your index.html, it should be left pointing to 'styles/main.css' like so:
<!-- build:css(.tmp) styles/main.css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css">
<!-- endbuild -->
You should also have your actual style file at 'app/styles/main.scss', which Yeoman should have created for you. When you run 'grunt server' it uses compass to compile all the scss files into a single css file which it temporarily puts under '.tmp', but as long as your scss files are in place you should not need to worry about this. My guess would be that you've somehow deleted or renamed the main.scss file; you should not be renaming this to 'main.css' for example.
I had the same issue, your main.scss file has issues with bootstrap css
I deleted the line ( 2. line )
#import 'bootstrap-sass-official/vendor/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap';
and have no more issues. it compiles to main.css

Can't use Stylus #import with Rake Pipeline

I have a simple Rake Pipeline setup that does nothing more than run "stylus" on my .styl files, using the rake-pipeline-web-filters gem. (The original pipeline does much more, but I've trimmed it down to the essentials for this question.
=== Assetfile ===
require "rake-pipeline-web-filters"
output "build"
input "app/style" do
# Compile Stylus to CSS
match "*.styl" do
stylus
end
end
This works fine for converting individual .styl files to individual .css files.
However, I am not able to use the Stylus #import command to import one file in another (necessary for mixins, among other things. Instead I get the error
ExecJS::ProgramError: Error: stylus:1
> 1| #import "appmixins"
2|
failed to locate #import file appmixins.styl
All the styl files are in the same folder, and when I execute stylus on the commandline using the npm version, the import works fine, so there's no syntax error.
Is this just something that's missing from the Stylus Filter in rake-pipeline-web-filters, or is there something I can do to make it work?
Ok, it looks like when I run the in Rake Pipeline in assumes all paths are starting from the directory I'm running the pipeline in, and so all the #imports have to be relative to that. Changing my imports to #import "app/style/appmixins" worked. This is different from what the NPM version of Stylus does, since it expects (and the docs specify) that all the paths are relative to the individual stylesheets. Not sure if I could have specified the block differently in the Assetfile to make this work as expected, but no matter, it all works for me now.
