It is my first time trying out Compass and encountered an issue around how Compass compressed SCSS files.
I had a simple .scss file with the following code:
@import url('//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css');
.fa-apple, .fa-android, .fa-twitter {
font-size: 60px;
}
I set up a Gulp task to compile the file and here is the task:
gulp.task('compass', function() {
gulp.src('app/scss/style.scss')
.pipe(compass({
config_file: './config.rb',
css: 'app/css',
sass: 'app/scss',
require: ['susy', 'breakpoint']
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/css'));
});
And this is my config.rb:
require 'susy'
require 'breakpoint'
project_type = :stand_alone
http_path = "/"
sass_dir = "app/scss"
css_dir = "app/css"
images_dir = "app/images"
fonts_dir = "app/fonts"
javascript_dir = "app/js"
line_comments = true
preferred_syntax = :scss
output_style = :compressed
relative_assets = true
So I set the output_style to :compressed to minified the CSS result. This is what I got in the result css file:
@import url("//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css").fa-apple,.fa-android,.fa-twitter{font-size:60px}
Compass removed the ending semicolon of the @import statement, which results in unexpected styling on the page.
When I changed output_style to :expanded, the page worked well with the unminified css version as the the semicolon was kept.
Is there a way to avoid Compass from removing the semicolon? And also why should it happen?
