Why won't python webassets pyscss regenerate css from scss files in debug mode?

Question

I'm using the pyscss compiler in the python webassets library with webassets debug configs all set to true. But when I make changes to an scss file and reload the page that includes the generated css file, I see that the css file has not be regenerated and does not include my changes. Why is this happening?

Answer 1

Use depends='*.scss' as noted in this issue on GitHub.

Answer 2

Figured it out. Webassets does not pick up on changes to scss files that are included in other scss files using @import. The only solution is to always make a change to the including scss file if you make a change to the included one.
