Slow refresh on any css change with @import "semantic-ui";

With:

@import "semantic-ui";

in my application.scss, I was getting incredibly slow refresh times anytime any CSS (not just semantic stuff) was touched.

After replacing with;

 *= require semantic-ui

the problem disappears.

@MainShayne233 Because @import "semantic-ui" will load many sass files, you can use guard and 'livereload' to speed up it.

Same issue here. I use guard and livereload and still it's very slow. Using Rails 5.

Same issue here too.

If you change 'sass-rails' to 'sassc-rails' in your Gemfile, you'll notice a huge performance improvement (sassc is the native version of Sass, which is much faster than the pure-Ruby version).

@pedantic-git Thank you very much for the suggestion. I will definitely try it out.

sassc isnt always the solution. Does *= require semantic-ui have any side effects?
