[4.2.0 RC] [SenchaCmd 3.1.0] Quicker CSS compiling

[Navaar]

Hello,

I was wondering what the bare minimum command line is to recompile the css for a project. It takes a rather long time to do it via SenchaCmd by doing a "sencha app build".

The scenario is that there are no new files added, just tweaks to existing scss files. No new classes have been added to the project, I just want to refresh the css. I used to be able to just go and do a "compass compile" but that does not seem to work anymore.

Anybody have any ideas on how to speed this up?

Thanks

So it looks like you can just use the same compass command line that is used by the ant "sass" target
compass compile --sass-dir ${compass.sass.dir} --css-dir ${compass.css.dir} --config ${compass.config.file}

Here are the paths I used when doing a "sencha app build -e testing"

${compass.sass.dir} is the path to the base sass file you want to compile. I used "build/{app.name}/testing/"

${compass.css.dir}is the path to your resources dir. I used "build/{app.name}/testing/resources/"

${compass.config.file} is the ABSOLUTE path to the config file: I used "/path/to/project/sass/config.rb"

This works as long as you don't add any scss files. If you need to refresh the generated .scss file you have to run "sencha app build"

Hope that helps other folks.

You can also run just the "sass" target:

   sencha ant sass

From your application folder - same places you can run "sencha app build".

You can also run just the "sass" target:

This seems to regenerate the generated .scss file. This is good for updating when .js source is added or edited or .scss files are added or removed.

We use sencha ant sass theme

This also compiles the css

Thanks, this works just fine for me. Saved me a lot of "unnecessary building" time.
