I’m trying to get a blazor web app (server side rendering, windows, .net8.0) to use an scss file for some variables, which I later want to import into .css files.

The MS docu mentioned AspNetCore.SassCompiler, which I’m trying to use (version is 1.77.8).

So, I’ve got a GlobalStyles/StyleSheet.scss with one line:

$xxx-color:#aaaaaa;

and an appsettings file looking like this:

{
    "Logging": {
        "LogLevel": {
            "Default": "Information",
            "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
        }
    },
    "AllowedHosts": "*",
    "SassCompiler": {
        "Source": "GlobalStyles",
        "Target": "wwwroot/css",
        "Arguments": "--style=compressed --verbose",
        "GenerateScopedCss": true,
        "ScopedCssFolders": [ "Views", "Pages", "Shared", "Components" ]
    }
}

Now, what I get is a StyleSheet.css in the right place, but the only content is this:

/*# sourceMappingURL=StyleSheet.css.map */

And no error or other messages in the build output window in Visual Studio.
What I had expected was something like

--xxx-color: #aaaaaa;

for importing into other css files.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong here?
