Thanks @sam I think I wasn’t clear in this case.
I’m not developing a theme in the CSS section of the admin panel.
Rather, I’m creating a plugin which contains raw scss files which “themes” the discourse instance and also some of the custom elements that I will be injecting into outlets.
So I have a css files being loaded by my plugin:
plugin.rb
register_asset "stylesheets/base-theme.scss"
I’d really like to get these live reloading (similar to guard-livereload,)
Developing in the admin isn’t really sustainable from my viewpoint as there are going to be several developers working on files and having version control / git commit flow process is a pretty high priority.
