Rails 3.1 asset pipeline doesn't pick up changes to @import'd sheets

Question

I use @import\'d partial sheets to organize my css/sass:

/app
  /assets
    /stylesheets
      _constants.sass
      _layout.sass
      ...
      ap         


        

Answer 1

Using a depend_on directive may do what you require. This makes the given file a dependency of the base file (so the base file is regenerated when the dependency changes), but doesn't include it in the bundle.

For example:

/*
*= depend_on _layout.sass
*= depend_on _constants.sass
*/
@import _layout.sass
@import _constants.sass

See this sass and sprockets blog post as well as the sprockets documentation (especially the directives section).
