Config file not found when scss-lint is a dependency of another task

[mattijsbliek]

If I run this code, it works without any problems:

gulp.task('scss-lint', function() {
    gulp.src(paths.cssSrc + '/**/*.scss')
        .pipe(cache('scsslint'))
        .pipe(scsslint({'config': '.scss-lint.yml'})).on('error', handleError);
});

But if I add this task as a dependency to another task like so:

gulp.task('scss', ['scss-lint'], function() { ... });

I get an error because it can't find my config file.

I'm using scss-lint v0.29 and gulp-scss-lint v0.1.4. My config file is in the same location as my Gulpfile.

Temporary solution I found out you can work around this by prepending the globally available __dirname variable to your config location like so:

gulp.task('scss-lint', function() {
    gulp.src(paths.cssSrc + '/**/*.scss')
        .pipe(cache('scsslint'))
        .pipe(scsslint({'config': __dirname + '/.scss-lint.yml'})).on('error', handleError);
});

It's strange, the same code works well for me... Do you run gulp from another directory?

Sorry for the late reply!

I did some more debugging, and the problem seems to occur when you run scss-lint as a dependency of another task. I can run it fine on it's own, but as soon as I run gulp.task('sass', ['scss-lint'], function() { ... }); it seems to look for .scss-lint.yml in a different directory.

I tried to do the same and it's works well. Could you make some changes in the plugin?

Edit ./node_modules/gulp-scss-lint/index.js in the line 59 add console.log(process.cwd()); console.log(command);

and tell me what it returns.

Thanks!

It returns scss-lint /Users/username/Sites/sitename/public/css/sass/base.scss [...] --config /.scss-lint.yml --format XML and then errors with the same error as before.

Problem looks to be that it tries to use /.scss-lint.yml instead of .scss-lint.yml

Sorry but I don't know that it could be happening, the plugin does't modify the options
