Atom sass indentation errors

I'm trying to modify a sass file from WordPress but I keep getting indentation errors and I can't figure out why.

I've tried:

  1. Auto indent in Atom which doesn't work with sass (it just removes all indentation, this seems to be a bug with no fix so far)

  2. The file is seemingly correctly indented with 4 spaces like I also usually use. If I delete the original 4 spaces and re-type them it works. I have tried to find/replace but it doesn't work either. It doesn't matter if I re-type the 4 spaces or just hit tab.

  3. I've tried searching online for a solution for about an hour now. If it's already been answered a bunch of times I'm sorry to re-ask the question but I need help finding the answer.

The file has over 2.000 lines and so far I've takes the first 150 lines and tried different ways of re-indenting, but whenever I take a new bite and re-indent manually it just pushes the indentation error to the next original line of code. I really do not want to manually go through the entire file.

Going on a lot of assumptions for your Settings for Atom, but inside of your Settings look for Tab Length and make sure this is set to 2. Then look at Tab Type Change this to soft.

I'd also suggest installing Atom Beautify to clean up your files
