First I'm no JS or Node expert. I followed the simple instructions on the README page but that wasn't working. After much debugging with my limited knowledge I came to the conclusion that cannot possibly work or I'm really missing something.

In website.js in prepareStyles at line 52 : that.book.resolve(stylePath) is resolving the style path against the source root and not the generated _book directory. So it's working for a static file which is already there but not for a generated one which will be in the _book directory.

The only workaround I see without touching gitbook is to generated the CSS in the source, ie:

// Temporary CSS file
var tmpfile = filename.replace(/(sass|scss)$/i, "css");

// Replace config
book.config.set('styles.'+type, tmpfile);

return renderSASS(
    book.resolve(filename),
    path.resolve(tmpfile)
);

I tried work in Windows

Regerd.

Got following error after updating to Node.js v6.0.0:

gitbook install finished without warnings.

Hello ! Thanks for this plugin development, SASS would be very useful for sure.
Unfortunately, I can't manage to make it work.

I've tried :

• Adding to book.json then gitbook install
• Install via npm, npm i gitbook-plugin-styles-sass --save-dev then gitbook serve
• Every combination of the above in every order, using both the "plugins": ["styles-sass"] and the "plugins": ["[email protected]"] syntax.

What did I miss ?

I've got an error when using this plugin, but I don't know why. I'm using NVM with node 5.1.
