Version 3.0.0-pre is no longer available in npm

Installing version 3.0.0-pre no longer works.

npm install node-sass@beta superseded it.

[maspwr]

Some libraries we were depending on (v0.5.0 of https://github.com/jtangelder/sass-loader) relied on it. I can see if they can release a newer version.

[maspwr]

It seems some Sass libraries are having trouble compiling under later releases of 3.0.0-X. If it's not too much trouble, could 3.0.0-pre be republished for the time being to give some time to try and figure out why some libraries don't compile under 3.0.0-beta.4?

[am11]

AFAICR, node-sass@alpha === node-sass@pre, so if you don't want to break compatibility just switch to alpha.

Nonetheless, please pin point where exactly are you having trouble with, we may able to fix it. Because the coming beta and RC will have tons of other breaking changes and these interim builds are meant to change. Moral of the story: don't rely on them too much for serious work unless v3 is solidify.

Would be happy to help.

OK, thanks for the help. My preference would be to upgrade to sass-loader 1.0.0 and use 3.0.0-beta.4. But when compiling Foundation I get this error:

Module build failed:
      dialog, .#{$reveal-modal-class} {
             ^
      You may not @extend an outer selector from within @media.
You may only @extend selectors within the same directive.
From "@extend .reveal-modal" on line 203 of bower_components/foundation/scss/foundation/components/_reveal.scss

Line 203 looks like:

    dialog {
      @extend .#{$reveal-modal-class};  // Line 203
      display: none;

      &::backdrop, & + .backdrop {
        @include reveal-bg(false);
      }

      &[open]{
        display: block;
      }
    }

@maspwr I am running into the same thing when I was forced to upgrade this morning, too. I opened an issue, since it's not directly related to this issue.

[am11]

@maspwr, do you get the same error with node-sass@alpha?

[maspwr]

Interestingly, yes. But I didn't get it with -pre.

[am11]

Interestingly, yes

Indeed interesting. AFAICT, we didn't upgraded to libsass v3.2.0-beta.x until node-sass v3.0.0.beta.

On this note, can you make an SSCCE for this issue?

[am11]

BTW, this error string ("an outer selector from within") was first introduce in libsass v3.2.0-beta.1, sass/libsass#927.

Are you sure you are trying with node-sass@alpha? Because at that time we were using libsass v3.1.0. To wit: see https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/v3.0.0-alpha.1/package.json#L4 and https://github.com/sass/node-sass/tree/v3.0.0-alpha.1/src (libsassh hash 31521ef3ece636892f395a80392448ceae449b90 corresponds to v3.1.0)

You may need to clean your npm cache.

[maspwr]

I think you are right about the caching issue. Removing node_modules, doing npm install again, and compiling seems to work with 3.0.0-alpha.0. The only issue I'm now seeing is that occasionally the compilation seems to hang. I'll have to keep investigating that one.

[am11]

Note that Foundation has removed that code from partial in their master. You will get exact same error with ruby-sass if you try something like:

h2 {
  color:transparent;
}

@media print{
  h1 {
    @extend h2;
  }
}

[maspwr]

@am11 We actually just ripped out Foundation, so that issue is no longer a problem. I also haven't seen the compilation hang anymore. We are now running 3.0.0-beta.4 without any noticeable issues. Thanks for your help!
