Materia-theme: sassc compilation error: "compound selectors may no longer be extended."

[wimstefan]

• Materia version: git 51e440a3
• GTK3 version: 3.24.10
• sassc: 3.6.1
• libsass: 3.6.1-15-g0f3d6
• sass2scss: 1.1.1
• sass: 3.5

Running change_color.sh throws the following error:

== Light background color detected. Setting color variant to light.
== Converting theme into template...
== Filling the template with the new colorscheme...
== Generating the CSS...
compound selectors may no longer be extended.
Consider `@extend ${compound.components.join(', ')}` instead.

I cannot reproduce this.

My sassc version is:

$ sassc --version
sassc: [NA]
libsass: 3.5.4
sass2scss: 1.1.1
sass: 3.5

Can you provide the command you input? (Possibly your command was wrong.)

[nana-4]

Also, could you please check if you get the same error by running ./parse-sass.sh?

[wimstefan]

I've tried to compile my own theme as I always did with
./change_color.sh -o ta-materia-light-blue-2 ~/.config/oomox/colors/ta-materia-light-blue

But the example command you gave in the --help gave me the same error:
./change_color.sh -o my-theme-name <(echo -e "ROUNDNESS=0\nBG=d8d8d8\nFG=101010\nHDR_BG=3c3c3c\nHDR_FG=e6e6e6\nSEL_BG=ad7fa8\nMATERIA_VIEW=ffffff\nMATERIA_SURFACE=f5f5f5\nMATERIA_STYLE_COMPACT=True\n")

Running ./parse-sass.sh throws exactly the same error. Might be the slightly higher sassc version? I'm using the live ebuild on a Gentoo system ...

OK going back to dev-lang/sassc-3.6.0 solved the problem as far as I can tell :-)

sassc: na
libsass: 3.6.0
sass2scss: 1.1.1
sass: 3.5

Thank you so much for your time going into that issue and all the efforts for making such a great theme! :-D 👍🏽

[nana-4]

Thanks for providing the detailed info :smiley:

TBH, I'm still not sure if this is a bug or an intentional change in the newer version of sassc/libsass. But if this will happen with even newer versions, I'll try to fix the error... ;)

[nana-4]

Okay. Apparently this is an intentional change in Sass, and is unlikely to be reverted. (Still it's strange to me that they added the breaking change into the patch release, though.)

So, we will need to update our SCSS code drastically to deal with this... :man_facepalming:

I'm going to reopen this.
