I am using SASS for the first time, and my variables seem to have stopped working. I have the following code in my application.css.scss file:
*= require_self
*/
#import "layout";
#import "colors";
...
#import "text";
In my partial _colors.css.scss file, there is:
...
$ct-white: #F8F8F8 !global;
and in my partial _layout.css.scss file (the Rails default layout file):
/* Site-wide layout syntax */
body {
background-color: $ct-white;
}
I know that the _layout.css.scss file is loading because other styles on the page work fine when I set body { background-color: #F8F8F8; }. For some reason, the variable isn't being parsed correctly.
Any ideas why?
You're importing colors after layout , so the variables you define in colors are not available for layout. You could simply invert the order of those two lines. In SASS, import order matters.
If you're using the sass-rails gem, it uses sass 3.2.0 so !global throws an error.

I need to reduce the font-size of Bootstrap's Jumbotron header in Rails.
I see here
that I need to add something like
#jumbotron-heading-font-size: ceil((#font-size-base * 2.5));
in my file
app/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap_customization.css.scss
So I changed "#" to "$", please see below how the file looks now:
$jumbotron-heading-font-size: ceil(($font-size-base * 2.5));
$jumbotron-padding: 20px;
#import "bootstrap";
But this doesn't work.
I've found a solution.
As I'm using Bootstrap 4, I had a look at
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_variables.scss
and found $display3-size variable there (this is a class for h1 tag inside Jumbotrone), so then I added the following line before #import bootstrap into my .scss file:
$display3-size: 2.5rem;
So it works now
I have a Rails 4 app, using the foundation-rails v5.2.1.0 gem, and one custom SCSS file for my application layout. When I use a variable from the foundation_and_overrides.scss file, I get the following error:
Undefined variable: "$header-font-family"
I've included relevant code below. I can post more if needed. Anyone know what's going on here?
From application.css:
*
*= require foundation_and_overrides
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*/
From foundation_and_overrides.scss:
// We use these to control header font styles
$header-font-family: "futura-pt", sans-serif;
$header-font-weight: 400;
// $header-font-style: normal;
From custom.css.scss:
$include-html-global-classes: false;
#import "foundation/components/global";
.
.
.
.footer {
background-color: black;
color: white;
height: 100px;
font-family: $header-font-family;
}
You are getting the error because foundation_and_overrides.scss is executing after custom.css.scss. Best way to do this is to define your variables in a partial and import it in your main stylesheet after foundation.
First change the file name from
foundation_and_overrides.scss to _foundation_and_overrides.scss
and then import it in custom.css.scss file after foundation with
#import 'foundation_and_overrides';
Update
Rename your application.css to application.css.scss and custom.css.scss to custom.scss
In your application.css.scss remove *= require_tree .
And then import your main stylesheet with
#import 'custom'
I hope this helps
The cleanest way is to add the line
#import "custom";
to your file foundation_and_overrides.scss before the line
#import "foundation";
There's no need to remove *= require_tree . from application.css.scss as stated in the accepted answer. There's also no need to add require foundation_and_overrides to application.css if you leave require_tree . in there.
According to the Rails Docs:
If you want to use multiple Sass files, you should generally use the Sass >#import rule instead of these Sprockets directives. When using Sprockets >directives, Sass files exist within their own scope, making variables or >mixins only available within the document they were defined in.
So in this case the order of the directives (the lines in application.css that start with *=) doesn't matter because each of those files lives in its own scope and you can't access their variables from another scss file. That's why you want to either #import foundation_and_overrides and then custom, or #import your custom stylesheet into foundation_and_overrides.
I am using bootstrap-sass and the font-awesome ( https://github.com/littlebtc/font-awesome-sass-rails) gems. I would like to override the bootstrap font setting from that of font-awesome.
From font-awesome's site I can override the bootstrap defaults, if I just import if after bootstrap's import.
#import 'bootstrap';
#import 'font-awesome';
I have done the above, but font-awesome's font is not overriding. I have pushed my project on github - https://github.com/murtaza52/rails-base. The url is accessible on localhost:3000/posts
I will appreciate if someone can help me overriding bootstraps's default font with those of font-awesome's
Modify your application.css.scss to look like below
#import "font-awesome";
$baseFontFamily: 'FontAwesome';
#import "bootstrap";
...
#import "bootstrap-responsive";
//#import "scaffolds";
#import "posts";
WHY?
You move import "font-awesome" at the top and then define baseFontFamily because that's what bootstrap uses to define font-family for all the elements. Check Typography and links block in the middle. If you import bootstrap after this, FontAwesome will be used by default.
You should remove import "scaffolds"; line because scaffolds.css.scss will reset your font family for body element which will be inherited by every other element.
If you can't avoid importing it before bootstrap. I hope that helps.
For those of you guys using Bootstrap 3.2+ (I guess), here's the list of SASS variables you can modify:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap/_variables.scss
In our case, we want to make sure to define $font-family-base before doing #import "bootstrap".
By setting $font-family-base before the line below is reached, Bootstrap uses our $font-family-base instead (otherwise, it defaults to $font-family-base-serif, also defined in the variables.scss above).
$font-family-base: $font-family-sans-serif !default;
This is how my application.css.sass looks like
/*
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
*/
#import "fonts"
#import "compass"
#import "bootstrap"
And I have the following in _fonts.css.sass (You don't have to have it in a separate file)
$font-family-sans-serif: 'Roboto', verdana, arial, sans-serif
I don't know if this helps you but at least sometimes when template code seems valid you need to force refresh your browser with ctrl+shirt+r to see changes (works at least in mozilla).
Using Rails 3.
Right now in each new .css.scss file that I am creating, I want to be able to use the mixins, but I just couldn't seem to use it.
Here is my bootstrap_import.css.scss:
// Import bootstrap
// --------------------------------------------------
#import "bootstrap";
#import "bootstrap-responsive";
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
.span12, .container {
width: 1170px;
}
}
#import "base";
When I have another file called a.css.scss and I try to #include border-radius(12px);, but it just gives this error:
Undefined mixin 'border-radius'.
Same goes to variables, I would like to change some colors on some variables so that I can use it on any file without needing to include in each CSS file.
Thank you.
Only one import works in my project, probably a bug or a mistake from my side.
My solution with bootstrap-sass v2.0.3.1 to achieve a solution is:
(not 100% what do you expect, I know..)
I create a new scss file like: myAppBase.css.scss
/* override bootstrap default variables */
$linkColor: #FF0000;
$linkColorHover: #000;
#import "bootstrap";
/* App variables */
$bgImage: url('bg.jpg');
$radius: 4px;
$maxHeight:600px;
$minHeight:400px;
$bSize:1px;
and if i need bootstrap and my variables in an other *.css.scss file.
I include this line on the top:
#import "myAppBase";
I followed this guidelines and I was able to fix the error "undefined border-radius".

I'm trying to refer to a mixin defined in one file (application.css.scss) in another (home.css.scss). I have tried importing application into home but still get an "Undefined mixin" error.
Is there a way to automatically import all of my files, or what is the best way to manage imports between files?
I haven't been able to make the jump to 3.1 yet, but using Compass & Sass for quite a while, I've found it's best to try to manage mixin/definition sass separately from your actual CSS generating sass. In this way, the mixin files can be treated freely like code libraries, included wherever necessary, without them repeatedly generating CSS rules.
So you might have:
/* my-mixin-concern.scss */
$default_foo: 123px !default;
#mixin some-concern($foo: $default_foo) {
// do something
}
/* application.scss */
$default_foo: 321px; // optionally, pre-set the default value before import.
#import 'my-mixin-concern';
p { #include some-concern; }
/* home.scss */
#import 'my-mixin-concern';
body.home p { #include some-concern(9000px); }
In this way you are explicitly importing all requirements for each scss file, similarly to how you would do so in a code library.
Pure Rails Solution
Step 1. Rename
application.css -> application.css.scss
Step 2. Refactor
// application.css.scss
/*
*= require_self
*/
#import "mixins.css.csss"
#import "project.css.scss"
