Slate cannot compile Bootstrap 4 about slate HOT 7 CLOSED

Is there any way to update the 'Failed to compile SCSS file' to reflect the actual error. I'm finding it near impossible to convert my site to being compiled by shopify

This would be more of a general Shopify issue. Currently, Shopify's CDN servers that compile the SCSS files support Sass 3.2.6. So technically, Bootstrap 4's SCSS files that require at least 3.3 will not compile in any Shopify theme.

Thanks @jonathanmoore

@mblode I took a look at the repo for bootstrap-sass and see that Sass version 3.3.4 is required. https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/bootstrap-sass.gemspec#L14
You'll need to compile your Sass separately as Shopify's compiler won't be able to do this.

Yeah, I'm compiling bootstrap 4 with my own custom variables using Codekit and then just importing it. Is there any goal to update Sass from the 5-year-old version Shopify is currently using?

It's an issue we're aware of, but no timeline I can offer.

Yes, it would be so nice and much easier to have Sass updated or at least have an option to choose which version to use so it doesn't break old themes. Ending up using compiled version of Bootstrap 4 Grid system (by CodeKit) and imported to the current theme.
