jekyll: front matter in scss is causing grief with scss-lint task

http://jekyllrb.com/docs/assets/

Jekyll provides built-in support for Sass and CoffeeScript. In order to use them, create a file with the proper extension name (one of .sass, .scss, or .coffee) and start the file with two lines of triple dashes, like this:


---

---

// start content
.my-definition
  font-size: 1.2em

except that front matter (the yaml stuff at the top) is not proper sass; and makes tools like grunt-scss-lint or scss-lint barf.

Please reopen this. It is not fixed/implemented.

I’m having this issue as well and cannot find a solution anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix it?

@envygeeks

Where is this standard/protocol?

You mean the one @mediadoneright was referring to? My guess is he means the language standards (SASS/HAML/LESS/etc) that Jekyll requires you to violate by including invalid syntax at the top of each file (which breaks linters and syntax highlighters, among other things).

You make a good point though about the complexity added by scale. I think @dnozay has proposed a pretty good solution to that above. Making this feature opt-in eliminates all concerns about backwards compatibility, and makes performance significantly less of a concern since you don’t have to worry about affecting performance for those who don’t have the feature enabled (though obviously performance for those who do enable the feature is still a concern).
