JEKYLL SASS CSS

Question

Hi i have a web site setup. however i cannot get jekyll to compile the actual changes i make in sass files into css file for each article post.

Do i have to add something to my gulp file? I thought jekyll would compile the sass styling into css automatically without need to implement it into gulp? or package.json?

I get sass to work and compile for website layout css folder with gulp command, but the articles section and posts, nothing happens when i change the sass style file for each individual articles, i have to edit the actual css file directly to see a change.

I am missing something here is my code

    return cp.spawn('jekyll', ['build'], {stdio: 'inherit'})
        .on('close', done);
});




/**

gulp.task('jekyll-rebuild', ['jekyll-build'], function () {
    browserSync.reload();

/**

gulp.task('browser-sync', ['sass', 'jekyll-build'], function() {

        server: {
            baseDir: '_site'
        },
        notify: false
    });
});




/**
 * Compile files from _scss into both _site/css (for live injecting) and site (for future jekyll builds)
 */
gulp.task('sass', function () {
    return gulp.src('assets/css/main.scss')
        .pipe(sass({
            includePaths: ['css'],
            onError: browserSync.notify
        }))
        .pipe(prefix(['last 15 versions', '> 1%', 'ie 8', 'ie 7'], { cascade: true }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('_site/assets/css'))
        .pipe(browserSync.reload({stream:true}))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css'));
});


gulp.task('jade', function(){
  return gulp.src('_jadefiles/*.jade')
  .pipe(jade())
  .pipe(gulp.dest('_includes'));
});


/**
 * Watch scss files for changes & recompile
 * Watch html/md files, run jekyll & reload BrowserSync
 */
gulp.task('watch', function () {
    gulp.watch('assets/css/**', ['sass']);
    gulp.watch('assets/js/**', ['jekyll-rebuild']);
    gulp.watch(['index.html', '_layouts/*.html', '_includes/*'], ['jekyll-rebuild']);
    gulp.watch(['assets/js/**'], ['jekyll-rebuild']);
    gulp.watch('_jadefiles/*.jade', ['jade']);
});




/**
 * Default task, running just `gulp` will compile the sass,
 * compile the jekyll site, launch BrowserSync & watch files.
 */
gulp.task('default', ['browser-sync', 'watch']);

so under gulp tasks i thought a jekyll rebuild would trigger sass for jekyll posts assets to rebuild css ? is this correct? or does it also need to be inserted into the gulp process separately? sorry for any confusions, i did search around a lot and no one address this technical aspect directly. — frog
You don't need gulp to manage sass, Jekyll does it very well out of the box. Why gulp ? — David Jacquel
That is what i thought. But IF i change Sass file style for article and do Jekyll build. And arter that gulp. It dont write to css. Eg nothing happens. — frog

Try Jekyll clean command so that all files can be regerated, ensure that incremental is switched off.
