allow overriding files with a relative @import
azul opened this issue · comments
I have a simple app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss:
@import 'head'
...head.scss contains the defaults but is meant to be overwritten from a customizable directory that is preceedign app/assets/stylesheets in the asset load path.
But since head.scss is found in the path relative to application.scss the head.scss will never be used.
I can work around this by either putting the application.scss in the customization path or moving everything into a subdir so i can use paths that can only be read as absolute paths.
Both workarounds are counterintuitive and should not be needed. If i @import sub/relative from within /foo/parent.scss I would expect sass-rails to look for 'foo/sub/relative' inside the load_paths according to their priority and if no such file is found to look for 'sub/relative'.
This way one could overwrite any file by putting another file in the same location in a load path with higher priority.

I think the proper fix is to put the current path to the end of the search.
I'm proposing something else here because i think defaulting to relative paths is sass's way of handling the import ambiguity and we should not break that.
