Where are imports searched for?

[WhyNotHugo]

I've a scss file (site.scss) with a few imports at the top:

@import "site";
@import "shared";

html {
...

This file is inside one of my django app's static/js directory. site.scss is inside my app's static/js.

(My main SCSS file uses a few variables that are set inside other apps, and this is because the main SCSS file is shared across many sites).

This worked with django-sass-processor, but since I'm using django-compressor, I really want to move to libsasscompiler. However, I'm getting this error:

sass.CompileError: Error: File to import not found or unreadable: site.
        on line 1:1 of idf/core/static/www/v2.scss
>> @import "site";

   ^

What's the search criteria when looking for imports? Any hints on how to work around this?

This package relies on sass.compile method from libsass package, and the "Compiler base" from django-pipeline, here is all the logic of this package

But I think you have to use relative imports (relative to the file importing your base style)

Hmmm... I'm not sure how I can achieve that; I'm importing from a scss provided by another django app, so the paths are not relative in filesystem terms, but they are relative from django's finders' point of view.

Absolute imports then? The problem is that there is not built in stuff in libass for doing that, yes, it could be interesting to do it here

[WhyNotHugo]

Hmm... Can a "search path" be passed to libsass for relative imports?
If so, passing the static directory of all the apps in INSTALLED_APPS might be simple and make sense.

Hmm... looks like it's only possible with compile_dir, and not with compile. :/
