New files get ignored

[alanhogan]

Scenario:

• Rails 3.2 project.

• My stylesheet includes this line:

  @import "core/pages/*"
  

• Adding a new file core/pages/x.sass has no effect.

• Adding this line to my stylesheet causes x to be noticed:

  @import "core/pages/x"
  

• x will continue to be paid attention to after this, even if the line in the previous step is removed.

Neither rake tmp:clear nor rake assets:clean seem to have no effect on the above.

Neither does modifying the main stylesheet in a trivial way (like adding whitespace or touch-ing).

Is there any way I can tell sass-rails, doing its asset-pipeline magic, to force update?

Is this a sprockets bug? Filed: sstephenson/sprockets#336

Still seeing this on sass-rails 3.2.6 with sprockets 2.2.2.backport1

Anyone have a workaround?

anyone? bueller?

I'm having the same issue.

This is because the importer doesn't implement the mtime method. It needs to check if the uri is a glob and if it is, it should return the mtime of the most recent file changed otherwise it should delegate to the superclass.

Here's how I do this in the sass-globbing plugin: https://github.com/chriseppstein/sass-globbing/blob/master/lib/sass/globbing/importer.rb#L64-L76

anyone care to make a patch?

I'm still seeing this behavior. If I get a chance I'll look into doing a pull request, but for now here's a workaround for anyone else that needs a quick fix. (never mind, didn't work).

The workaround I'm using when adding new files is changing the file that has the import. Adding a newline is enough to let it compile again. Simply touching it does not work, you really have to change it.

Just ran into this bug in Rails 4 and #184 seems to fix it. Is there any reason we can't merge it?
