Error when compiling .scss file #162

denismarian · 2014-01-29T09:45:15Z

I have an error when compiling .scss file, appears notification that is error and path to my .scss file. With .less files is ok. I downloaded Koala about one week ago and it always shows me this error.

Windows 7 64, have ruby installed.

stockman · 2014-02-03T22:16:00Z

Can you please be more specific? what is the error msg?

denismarian · 2014-02-03T22:25:01Z

I'm sorry for my english, it's not my natal language.

It shows me just 'Error' and path to .scss file. Thank you.

spacelab-sp · 2014-02-13T12:12:04Z

Same here, the css is compiled, but this error appear.
A option to disable these popups would be good.

FlxSaenger · 2014-03-10T17:53:05Z

BUMP! Same problem here... very annonying! How can I receive any debbug-info? It's like: In the beginning of each Koala-session, the files are rendered perfectly, then after two or three tries it works again, then after 5,6, and so on...

ignaciolezama · 2014-04-11T01:38:07Z

Same problem! Did anybody find a solution?
I can compile .less files perfectly, and scss/sass with cmd.

oklai · 2014-04-11T02:02:04Z

Anybody can help to debug this problem?
Debug method:

Find %koala%/package.json, set window.debug and window.toolbar to true;
Find %koala%/app/scripts/compilers/SassCompiler.js:SassCompiler.prototype.sassCompile, add this code global.debug(error) at the bottom of the function.

exec(command, {timeout: 5000, maxBuffer: 2000*1024}, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
    if (error !== null) {
        global.debug(error); // for debug
        emitter.emit('fail');
        self.throwError(stderr, filePath);
    } else {
        emitter.emit('done');
        //add watch import file
        var imports = common.getStyleImports('sass', filePath);
        self.watchImports(imports, filePath);
    }

    // do awayls
    emitter.emit('always');
});

Restart Koala, then press F12 to open the developer tools, switch to the "console" section, if error when compile sass file, the detailed error message will be printed out.

ignaciolezama · 2014-04-11T02:35:10Z

I'll try to help, but I have no idea if I'm doing this the right way.
I'm getting this error in the Console section:

Error {code: "ENOENT", errno: "ENOENT", syscall: "spawn"}

oklai · 2014-04-11T03:15:08Z

Thanks. But this information is not enough, please continue test.
Find "argv.push('--cache-location "' + path.join(FileManager.userCacheDir, '.sass-cache') + '"')", and comment this line, add the no-cache option.

//argv.push('--cache-location "' + path.join(FileManager.userCacheDir, '.sass-cache') + '"');
argv.pus('--no-cache');

and print stdout and error.

global.debug(error); // for debug
global.debug(stdout);
global.debug(error);

ignaciolezama · 2014-04-11T03:36:46Z

Getting the same error, let me know if there's anything else I could try.

oklai · 2014-04-11T05:03:49Z

There is no other way.
What is the system and the ruby version you are using?

ignaciolezama · 2014-04-12T05:21:37Z

Windows 7 64 bits, Ruby 1.9.3
Now I'm getting a longer error:

oklai · 2014-04-12T07:19:20Z

Try update ruby to the 2.x version, and set Koala, Settings --> Use Custom Ruby --> checked.

ghost · 2014-10-20T17:25:12Z

I was facing the same issue.
After investigation, I found that the problem was caused by the "timeout" value.
I set the value to 10000 and it worked (file "%koala%\app\scripts\compilers\SassCompiler.js" line 149)

AmyLGalles · 2014-11-11T23:29:23Z

I'm having the same problem. I followed the instructions above and still get a blank error message

AmyLGalles · 2014-11-11T23:33:30Z

TillMatthis · 2014-11-24T10:38:57Z

Hi.
I've run into the same problem and it seems to be caused by a long @import list. We use the ionic framework for phonegap and a lot of separate scss files.

Sebchauss solution to alter the timeout worked great and got rid of the error for me, to.
Thanks!

Like this:

„I set the value to 10000 and it worked (file "%koala%\app\scripts\compilers\SassCompiler.js" line 149)”

ghost · 2014-11-24T10:44:52Z

It maybe would be a great idea to have an explicit error message and a configurable setting directly in the application ?

TillMatthis · 2014-11-24T11:12:07Z

Yes. I second that. Sebchauss is right. Either a fix for that bug, or give us a setting ... something like a "troubleshooting" tab in the advanced settings where we can set the timeout for troubleshooting issues.
With an explanation that a higher timeout can help with errors from extremely long import lists.

buzznick · 2015-01-05T10:51:57Z

I was having the same issue and sebchauss solution worked for me. Cheers.

Mervel · 2015-01-30T14:46:27Z

I have the same problem and
"I set the value to 10000 and it worked (file "%koala%\app\scripts\compilers\SassCompiler.js" line 149)"
doesn't work for me. Do you have any other ideas?

FreezyExp · 2015-02-23T12:41:45Z

50000 worked for me on an cheap laptop, it just takes too long (causing the access errors I guess)

mort3za · 2015-03-07T15:16:53Z

Updating ruby to 2.2.1 and setting timeout to 10000 (based on @TillMatthis comment) solved my issue.

platform: win 8.1 x64

eric-harms · 2015-03-16T15:08:52Z

Thanks to everyone who discovered a fix. I was pulling my hair out. 10000 worked for me.

oklai · 2015-03-24T08:33:53Z

Thanks all, I will set the default value of maxBuffer to 10000*1024.

Judder · 2015-07-21T14:00:18Z

Setting timeout to more than 5 seconds as per above fixed this nicely

You can test if this is the problem by removing a number of your include files, to make the compilation less than 5 seconds, and then it will compile Error free again

soumen-sarkar · 2015-10-12T10:18:38Z

I have the same problem. It can compile .less files can't sass
"I set the value to 10000 and it worked (file "%koala%\app\scripts\compilers\SassCompiler.js" line 149)"
doesn't work for me. Do you have any other ideas?

ucavus · 2015-10-27T01:29:28Z

To @soumen-sarkar and others still getting this error, go higher. I tried 30000 and still had errors. Setting 60000 (one minute) solved it for me.

alenb · 2015-12-26T02:26:20Z

I had the same blank error message with just the path. My solution was to untick Source Map and it worked for me. Not sure if this will help, but I thought I'd leave it here anyways.

Cf-251 · 2016-01-17T20:21:34Z

changing to 15000 worked)

donomron · 2016-04-09T07:06:33Z

@sebchauss trick worked for me too! Thanks

bertanyaman · 2016-05-20T08:22:35Z

@TillMatthis 10000 is also worked for me !

peterromero · 2016-06-24T21:50:36Z

I changed timeout to 500000 and maxBuffer to 100000*1024, and am still getting the error. I also unticked Source Map. I added the lines to the SassCompiler.js and also to package.json but I don't get anything in the console... just a blank error. What else can I try?

This error occurred after reinstalling from disk C to disk D in my case. I returned it to drive C, and it works for me
