SASS/SCSS doesn't compile

Bug Reports

Is anyone else having problems with the SASS/SCSS compiler? After the latest Nova/macOS update, it simply fails to do anything on my M2 MacBook Pro.

I know it relies on Brew, and I’ve updated that, but it simply fails to fire on save like it’s supposed to. No changes anywhere. Nothing displays in the Extension Console.

I’d switch to another SASS/SCSS compiler, but… there is only one for Nova. And according to its GitHub page, it hasn’t been updated in four years.

Panic should take this basic functionality in-house, and not rely on an external source.

Right now, I’m back on VS Code. This extension is essential to my job, and I cannot do my job without it.

After further investigation, it turns out this is a bug.

The SCSS won’t get compiled if there is already an output file (.css) with a timestamp later than now().

The workaround is to delete the .css file, and it will compile.

I consider this a bug because the machine fails to execute a command explicitly given to it by a human being, and then does not inform the user of its failure.
