SCSS Stopped Compiling in DW 18, Build 10136

Hi,

I've been using the SCSS compiler in DW for a while. Recently, it just stopped working. I double checked, and all of the settings are still set properly. It's set to auto-compile on save, the source and output directories are still set correctly, etc. When I save the .scss file, or right-click on the scss file and select 'compile', nothing happens. No .css file is created. I've been searching for days, and can't find a solution.

It worked fine for months, then suddenly stopped working. Anybody have any solutions for this?

DW Version: 18.0, Build 10136

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Hi,

This probably happens when the Node process is not working or has crashed. Can you open task manager and see the status of Node.exe, also can you take a screenshot of it and share it with us?

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

  • Are you using partials (using underscore as a first char )

Partials won't be compiled in an CSS files.

RE: "Are you using partials - Partials won't be compiled in css files"

I've used DW's built-in scss compiler with and without partials, and it works fine both ways.

I'm sorry, but you're incorrect about partials. Partials ARE compiled from scss to css. If it's not working for you, you may be doing it incorrectly. The files get an underscore at the beginning, but your import tag should *not* include the underscore. If your partial is saved with an underscore at the beginning and a .scss file type, you simply @import that file into your main scss file (without the underscore) and it will compile, as it does in any other compiler.

It still doesn't work today. I switched to using KOALA for compiling a while back. Koala works well. Although I hate having to use a separate utility when DW claims to do the same thing.

Hi

I was mentioning the scenario for Partials won't compile to css , if it is not included in any main file with @import tag.

Files using underscore as a first char wont be compiled in an CSS files, but will be compiled if imported in an other file.

Thanks

I am sorry, I cannot help you because I have not come across that problem. I reverted back to Build 10136 to make sure.

At the moment I use Build 11060 which is available at Adobe Prerelease . I have found it to be very stable and slightly leaner than the version that you are using. Maybe worth a try, you can even keep your current version in case you want to go back.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
