I'm in the same boat as @Omarfouad. I've added it and nothing is converting for me. What am I missing?

@cjdsie, @Omarfouad. I think you have to make sure you include a YAML front-matter statement at the top of any file (in this case a scss file) that you want to convert.

This is mentioned in Jekyll's Plugin page under Converters: "Jekyll will only convert files that have a YAML header at the top, even for converters you add using a plugin."

For example:


---
title: stylesheet.scss

---

body { background: red; }

That seemed to do the trick for me.

Front matter can be empty, thus

should work as well.

Had to change
engine = Sass::Engine.new(content, :syntax => :scss, :load_paths => ["./css/"])
to
engine = Sass::Engine.new(content, :syntax => :scss, :load_paths => ["#{@config['source']}/css/"])

to support running jekyll build with a different --source flag
