Hey @joostliketoast, Sprockets’ require is not supported as it looses variables/mixins/… compared to Sass’ own @import.

As this question pops up often, I would be open to support it, if somebody wants to contribute :)

@hagenburger we use @import only in the partial where the variables and such are actually being referenced. This saves us a lot of compile time and makes it possible to use things like live-reload again.

A nice article about using sprockets and @import

@hagenburger also we would also be willing to contribute :)

I’m not using Sprockets in my main projects right now*. So I’m very happy to assist as I think it would be great to have this implemented!

* The compile time of < 2 s for a lot of Sass via a Gulp task running in parallel to Rails was good enough comparing to much more than 30 s via Sprockets. The downside: Within LSG files you can’t use the Rails helpers anymore, which is more easy to implement when embedded in Sprockets.

@hagenburger I made it so @scss yourfile.css.scss now searches for the asset in sprockets.
But would you like a option parameter for this like @scss yourfile.css.scss type: sprockets
or that it always loads the file using the sprockets enviroment if Sprockets is available?
