ActionView::Template::Error: Error: "var(--ts-pr-caret)" is not a number for `max'

[atstockland]

After installing via "yarn add tom-select", I'm getting the following error locally and while attempting to push to Heroku. In reviewing the scss files under node_modules, it appears variables in tom-select.scss file are not connecting.

ActionView::Template::Error: Error: "var(--ts-pr-caret)" is not a number for `max'

Line 102 in tom-select.scss file is:
padding-right: Max( var(--ts-pr-min), calc( var(--ts-pr-clear-button) + var(--ts-pr-caret)) ) !important;

Above that on lines 80 through 84, are where the vars are defined. I've been unsuccessful in finding a reason for this...

As I'm continuing to troubleshoot this, I removed tom-select and re-added it. Now, I'm seeing a new error:
Error: Can't find stylesheet to import. 171 @import 'items'.

I can verify _items.scss is in tom-select/src/scss/_items.scss

Pushing to Heroku results in

I'm hitting a similar issue but for this line:
https://github.com/orchidjs/tom-select/blob/master/src/scss/tom-select.scss#L102

The error looks like this:

SassC::SyntaxError: Error: "var(--ts-pr-min)" is not a number for `max'
        on line 11059:18 of stdin, in function `max`
        from line 11059:18 of stdin
>>   padding-right: max(var(--ts-pr-min), var(--ts-pr-clear-button) + var(--ts-
   -----------------^
stdin:11059

I suspect there's a package that's not a stated dependency which allows calling max on numbers with units.

Update:
As it says right in the error message this is because I was using SassC instead of Sass. SassC was a dependency of a gem, so that was injecting itself into my asset pipeline. Running yarn build:css was fine, but rails assets:precompile would expose the incompatibility.

Error occurs also when using older versions of bootstrap ( for examle 5.2.3 ), to avoid the error in production, you need to upgrade to the latest version

works fine with bootstrap@^5.3.2

@martinbarilik I'm using [email protected] and attempting to use [email protected] but still getting this error. How is this working for you?

[martinbarilik]

I was forced to upgrade to [email protected] in order to work it together.

[wrburgess]

I still get this error with Heroku and tom-select 2.3.1 and bootstrap 5.3.2:

[martinbarilik]

weird, it should not be the case. Have you tried to upgrade sassc module ?

[wrburgess]

I'm using sassc-rails 2.1.2

[wrburgess]

Got it to finally work by switching to gem "dartsass-sprockets", "3.0.0"

[martinbarilik]

Happy you got it by yourself. That is exactly what had to be done ;)
