Updating scss file does not recompile all scss files that imports it.

[jaw6x2]

I have a colors.scss file that holds all the colors for my site (theme colors). I @import "colors.scss" on all pages that use those colors. I can save those pages no problem and a css file is made or updated. The problem is when I change one of the theme colors in my colors.scss file and save, all the files that imported colors.scss is not updated or re-compiled. I have to manually open each file, make a change and then save for the file to get the updated color. Is there something i'm doing wrong or a configuration I don't have set?

Thanks,

@jaw6x2 easy-compiler works right. It's not functionality of easy-compiler. You need to use any task manager like gulp or grunt and configure them.

The entire point of extensions like this is to avoid having to set things up manually with Gulp or Grunt tasks. This is an intrinsic part of SCSS/LESS compilation that is simply missing from this extension. It is included in various other auto-compilers, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be included in this one as well.

@kokoshneta Did you find an alternative extension? I also have this problem.

You can add main option on top of SCSS/LESS file,
Examples:
file1

// out: main.css
@import file2;
.class{
....
}

file2

// main: file1  
@import file3;
.class{
....
}

file3 (file1 will compile)

// main: file2
.class{
....
}

Thank you for that! Not ideal, since you have to remember to update each included file every time you include it in a new file, but definitely better than having to manually recompile all the including files!
