Scout-App is pretty simple. You have an input and an output folder. Anything in the input folder (or it's subfolders) that ends in
.sass or .scss and does not begin with an _ will be processed to CSS with a matching name, in a mirrored folder structure in the output directory
If your projects doesn't follow that pattern and was set up with some other system, you can either reconfigure it, or use the existing system the project was set up for
Hi. Been using Scout on my Mac for more than 4 years to help with my Drupal site building. It's been brilliant! It's been working fine until suddenly today, on a given project, it just hangs. I've Force Quit it, terminated it in Activity Manager and rebooted my MacBook. It still hangs as soon as I click the play button on a particular project. Other projects are OK (until I click that one project). It's been working for that project for a few days, now suddenly stops. Any idea why or how I can find out what the problem is? I have a deadline of today, so am pretty desperate!
Scout-App just passes in the details and settings into Node-Sass, and then it uses LibSass to process your Sass into CSS
if the project's source/sass code is online I could take a look
alternatively, you could try the latest version of Scout-App (not yet released) which has a newer version of Node-Sass which may have fixed the problem
Instructions for running the latest version: https://github.com/scout-app/scout-app/blob/master/documentation/contributing.md#running-scout-app-locally-for-development
Thanks Jared. False alarm! Looks like I somehow got a corrupted .scss file. I rolled back to an earlier version and re-added the changes & it's working fine again. Sorry if I wasted your time. Why do these things only ever happen when you have a ridiculously short deadline? lol
on most of them it work like a charm
@roxhann
No clue, if you can find a way to reproduce it I might be able to fix it though
We are a classroom with same 12 computers with the same environments.
All work with sublim text. 3 of them have a strange behavior with Scout (2.18.16). The automatic build runs for a few minutes, then stops. force to operate the project manually. I do not have more specific information ^^' Thanks fo quick reply by the way !

ah emmm... the class is sometimes used for development courses. Is there any possibility of software conflict? (phpstorm, java ...)
Scout-App is entirely self-contained, so other things on the computer should not effect it
The process of watching for file changes is handled by a library called
chokidar. So it may be that it just isn't detecting the changes anymore and isn't re-running Node-Sass
Atomic saves are not always detected by chokidar, which is why you need to change it's delay setting
I just started using scout-app, and it's going well with Sublime Text 3 except for certain lines (like 'margin: 0;') make it not compile properly in compressed mode. If I comment out //margin: 0; it's fine. This is only happening in one partial so far. scout-app shows no errors but the .css file is not compressed. It looks fine in expanded or compact view. Any suggestions?
need quick help
can any body tell me how to install scout on ubunut
ubuntu*
