Sass/SCSS editor support (feature request) [message #720323]

Hi everybody,

I'd just like to point to a feature request I've just submitted for SCSS support in the CSS editor:
bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=356177

SCSS is a very powerful extension to the CSS styntax and adds nested rules,
variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more, see: sass-lang.com

I wonder if anybody else is interested in this, I'm personally relying more and more on it and would love to have good integration into Eclipse.

Best, Thomas.

I voted for the issue regarding sass support.

I don't know if it fits in this project, but I wouldn't know where else to put it. I use Sass, but I'm not a ruby developer. I'm a web developer. And I use Sass to better organize my styles for web applications. Has nothing to do with ruby other than Sass is written in ruby. It's a command like any other command. It's a syntax almost like CSS. If it doesn't go in Web Tools I don't know where else it would go. I've been Googling for almost an hour now and haven't found a solid solution.

Sass support should include, at minimum, syntax highlighting, and compiler configuration.

I don't know enough about Eclipse to develop this, so I'm really hoping someone will pick up the torch and run with it.

Several years later and I have just spent quite a while looking for a way to get SCSS files to work in Eclipse (by work, I mean basic syntax highlighting) and it seems there is no way.

Can this be supported?

SCSS (and to a lesser extent, LESS) have pretty much overtaken CSS as the used technology for web styling. I can't imagine very many people still want a plain CSS editor.

I realize that this is an old thread but just thought I should mention the existence of instructions for how to get the SASS/SCSS pre-processor from Ruby working in Eclipse.

https://ducfilan.wordpress.com/2017/01/25/how-to-auto-compile-sassscss-files-in-eclipse/comment-page-1/

I'm not personally endorsing these instructions yet because I haven't gotten them to work yet. The article is for a Mac environment but there is a relatively recent note by a J. Knight on how to get it to work in Windows too. I am working in Windows and have followed the instructions but it doesn't seem to be working yet; I suspect some minor typos in the instructions.

I've added a note with some clarifications (using one of my secret identities) to that website now that I've figure out how to get it working in my version of Eclipse (2018-09). (Or rather I've submitted clarifications but they are awaiting moderation.)
