Compass, adding import path

To compile .scss files in multiple directories we need to use "add_import_path" (http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/configuration-reference/), but i dont get how.

I've tried to add 

additional_import_paths
add_import_path "_themes"
add_import_path = "_themes"
additional_import_paths = "_themes"

in my config.rb, but no luck, Compass compiling only from sass_dir = "_modules"

Update: Yes, this line 

add_import_path "_themes"

doesnt gives us "no folder found" error, but compass still not compiling .scss in it

What am i doing wrong?

Solution

  • To compile multiple .scss files you should import the "child" files into the "parent" SASS file using @import "filename";.

    For example if you have main.scss, you might want to import more CSS from a child stylesheet called for example child.scss like this:

    @import "_modules/child";

    From what I understand, all that add_import_path does is allow you to import files from an additional directory. So you can also @import from _themes/
