CSS Transitions and transforms on SVG elements

Question

I am currently trying to rotate an SVG group using a CSS transform and animate it using CSS transitions. I am getting the desired transform but not the animate, any idea on

Answer 1

Fixed it!

The transition was in the wrong place, I had assumed that the transition would descend down to the children elements but apparently not. Also fixed the rotation by animating between 0 and 180 degrees.

Inline SVG

Compass SCSS

.hub-icon-container {
    &:hover {
        .hub-icon {
            transform:rotate(180deg);
            -ms-transform:rotate(180deg);
            -webkit-transform:rotate(180deg);
        }
    }
    .hub-icon {
        @include transition(all 0.5s ease-in-out);
        transform:rotate(0deg);
        transform-origin:50% 50%;
        -ms-transform:rotate(0deg);
        -ms-transform-origin:50% 50%;
        -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg);
        -webkit-transform-origin:50% 50%;
    }
}

Compiled CSS

.hub-icon-container:hover .hub-icon {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
  -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
}
.hub-icon-container .hub-icon {
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  -o-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
  transform: rotate(0deg);
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  -ms-transform: rotate(0deg);
  -ms-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
  -webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}
