Hi all,

I've been using Sass (and Haml) for a while now and I'm a very happy
user. Thanks for all the work you guys have put in it.

Recently I came across livereload (http://github.com/mockko/
livereload). Really useful tool for any web developer. It actively
monitors your files and reloads your page or assets without touching
your browser manually. This works best for normal stylesheets and
javascript files where it is just a reload of the specific asset file.
For Sass this is different though. The whole page has to reload to
update the stylesheets. I have been looking into this but I haven't
seen a way around this. It seems that Sass needs a complete page
request to generate the css files. For example, I removed the css
files and did a curl request to just get the css page. This resulted
in a 404.

So my question is, is there a way to have Sass regenerate new css
files solely based on a request of a css file? Say localhost:/3000/
stylesheets/screen.css?new_time_stamp_here . If not, what would be the
fastest way to regenerate the Sass file. Currently, using Compass, I
just call a command line command : `compass compile` from within the
Ruby process, but this can be done faster I hope/assume.

Looking forward to any new insights.

Cheers,

Jeroen


NB I'm using Sass with Compass, but I'm assuming the root cause/
question lies with Sass.
