Question

Compiling SASS > CSS is very slow

Dear Support Community,

I have recently started using SCSS to generate a CSS file from 3 seperate SCSS files. Dreamweaver compiles these three into one 'master' CSS file. It does this automaticcaly when saving the file, which is the way I like it.

It works, but it's extremely slow! Compiling takes arround 20 to 30 seconds. Way too slow...
I have tried many different things like switching of linting, not using url's inside the SCSS, changing the SCSS Output File Style: nothing helps.

I am running the latest Dreamweaver CC version 21.2 on a PC with very fast specs and on Windows 11.
Please, help me out with some tips how to solve this problem!

    so for merging the three files you are using partials, isn't it ?

    are your partial scss file using an underscore as first character

    when you say that you don't use URL what are you taking about... properties value, or inlcude partials

    using URLs in properties values doesn't affect anything in the rendering process... so you can use it

     

    what cause me problem is that rendreding process taking so much time, look like the fiels get some how corrupted , or facing any convert problem.

     

    did you try converting using others tools ?

    are you using very large files using modules, and/or mixing in an each loop ?

    Hi Birnou,

    No, I have not tried other tools. Can you recommend one (free)? I would really like to keep using Dreamweaver: I use about six different Adobe CC apps and I really like this eco-system. I also like Dreamweaver: it has become essential for my work as webdeveloper...

    And no, I am not using very large files nor modules or mixins.
    Attached are the files that cause the problem (saved as .txt because it doesn't allow .scss files here)
    As mentioned before: styles.scss is the master; _scss-default.scss and _scss_colors_fonts.scss are imported.
