import once

[pkmiec]

I'm trying to use sassc-rails to speed up asset compilation. With sass-rails, I've been using https://github.com/Compass/compass/tree/master/import-once. However, that doesn't seem to work with sassc-rails. Does anything like that exist yet for sassc-rails?

ps. I know sass v4 is rumored to include import once functionality. It's unclear when v4 will be out, so I'm looking for something I can use with v3.

Hey. You're correct - this won't work with sassc-rails. This could probably exist as a separate gem. It might even be simpler, since we're not doing any caching with sassc-rails.

I don't immediately need this, so i'm going to mark it as needs-contributor. Someone is welcome to work on this.

Thanks. I will look into it. Perhaps I can come up with a separate gem solution for sassc-rails.

I have written the initial version: http://github.com/appfolio/sassc-import_once. However, there seems to be an issue with libsass which prevents "import once" type of functionality, sass/libsass#1262.

@pkmiec can you confirm that the breadth-first/depth-first issue has been solved as stated in sass/libsass#1262?

And I noticed your gem isn't available through rubyforge yet, is there any more work that needs to be done on it?

I'm on vacation for the next week. I can look into it when I get back.

Cool, let me know :)

Indeed, the issue is fixed. Hooray! I've updated the gem to depend on sassc ~> 1.8 and enabled additional tests. The first version of the gem is now available on rubygems.

I've yet to use this on my own project, so let me know if it work / doesn't work for you.
