flavor builder on minicss.org is broken
vpribish opened this issue · 11 comments
I changed the base root font size to 12 and hit the "Generate Flavor" button. The zip file downloaded, but the mini-custom.css and mini-custom-min.css files were zero-length. the other files looked ok.
I will check that soon and report back with my results.
There's something wrong with the compiler, I suppose. Haven't figured it out just yet, but you can easily compile the mini-custom.scss file yourself (use node-sass to do so) and it will output the CSS files you can use. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is most definitely something I need to fix.
This is probably an issue with sass.js, I'm currently working on fixing this.
Btw if I host the project locally, it works just fine, so this is a quick workaround for the time being, until I manage to fix this.
Update: I haven't figured tihs out yet, if anyone has any ideas, please submit a PR to resolve this!
Hello @Chalarangelo
I really love your project, congrats! ❤️
However, I want to try the flavor builder, can you please share me the instructions to run it locally?
Regards
@Janee Clone or download the repo, then serve the docs folder locally (using something like Web Server for Chrome). I think you can just double click the HTML file of that page after downloading as well and it might work fine, too.
I am totally not qualified to say anything at all about this because I don't know SASS or anything relevant. I was just hoping to easily circumvent the whole css stuff thingy with my flask app. But: when I was downloading a custom mini.css all partial scss files in /mini where in fact html files with a 404 error.
<title>Page not found · GitHub Pages</title>.The mini-custom.css and mini-custom-min.css files were also zero-length and trying to compile this with the python binding of libsass would raise
sass.CompileError: Error: Invalid CSS after "<": expected 1 selector or at-rule, was "<!DOCTYPE html>"
I fear I make a fool out of myself to point this out. But anyhow. Would really love to see this fixed.
I haven't managed to figure this out, but I'd love some help if anyone is willing to lend a hand. I fear this might be a hosting issue with GitHub pages, as the exact same code works fine onany local environment I've tried it. Maybe it's time to migrate to Netlify after all. I'll check that option, see if it yields any better results. Sorry for taking this long to fix s seemingly straightforward issue and thanks to everyone for all the feedback.
I am not qualified with Sass so this message could be totally useless, but could it be a simple error in filepaths submitted to sass compiler (resulting in the Github Pages 404 error page being "embedded" in sources files) ? Again, sorry if this suggestion turns out to be useless and congrats for this great project.
I found that mini/_core.scss is in fact an HTML with a 404 error response, so the file is missing or the server is not responding properly when generating that file, that's why does not compile.
So @SirFaenor is pointing in the right direction.
Edit
Now I see that all the .scss files under /mini folder are the 404 github error page.
Also thanks for this great library! ^^
Hello again! Seems that #174 should fix the problem!
Github pages ignores files that begin with underscore, so the scss files were not being published.
