When converted to a stand-alone theme the background colour will be green, but when used as a component within another theme it doesn’t change the background colour at all.
The theme setup has default file structure and I added scss/test.scss Then I state @import "test";
On the console (using discourse_theme watch) I get: ✘ Error in common scss: Error: File to import not found or unreadable: test. on line 1 of common.scss
Just declared one variable (btw there’s a typo on the first code block above, declared with equals: $favourite-color = red;)
But just solved it. I set the minimum version in about.json as v2.3.0.beta8 and when I remove that, it works just fine. Never used that before, so not sure what’s wrong with the declaration.
Interesting! If you add the minimum version again, does it consistently break? If so, would you mind zipping up the broken theme and sharing it here? (or PMing it to me)
