Won't build scss partials.

[hutber]

I have yet to be able to get this working with partials, only multiple base scss files.

My setup:

Gulp

javascript
var SRC = './stylesheets/**/*.scss';
var DEST = './stylesheets';
gulp.task('sass', function() {
return gulp.src(SRC)
//.pipe(changed(DEST, { extension: '.css' }))
.pipe(newer({ dest: DEST, ext: '.css' }))
.pipe(plumber({
errorHandler: handleErrors
}))
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(sass({}))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('./'))
.on('error', handleErrors)
.pipe(gulp.dest(DEST))
});

``` SCSS````
main.scss
    ¬ tools
       ¬ _generic-tool.scss

Main.scss
     @import "tools/generic-tool";

Any saves made inside main.scss will compile a new css file.
However any saves made in any partial, in this particular case any saves made inside of _generic-tool will not compile any css.

Look at the new "options.extra" feature. It will handle this case like so:

var SRC = './stylesheets/**/*.scss';
var DEST = './stylesheets';
gulp.task('sass', function() {
  return gulp.src(SRC)
    .pipe(newer({ dest: DEST, ext: '.css', extra:SRC }))
    .pipe(plumber({
        errorHandler: handleErrors
    }))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
    .pipe(sass({}))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write('./'))
    .on('error', handleErrors)
    .pipe(gulp.dest(DEST))
});

If any of the files that extra can see change, then it rebuilds all the files.

If I were doing this, I'd change the gulp.src to point to the one source file that includes the others (Main.scss in your example, or a small set of such source files). Otherwise it's building most of the scss files twice.

If any of the files that extra can see change, then it rebuilds all the files.

Is there a way that only the respective parent file is compiled?

Not using the "extra" mechanism, no. And given that SASS/SCSS files have complex include structures, you'd need something that understood SASS/SCSS syntax in order to accomplish that.

Something like sass --watch. Then just use Gulp to copy the css files to the proper destinations (if needed).
