Cannot get 'grid: true' to work with Brackets Extension

Open aaadddzzzIP opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Just installed latest autoprefixer extension into latest version of Brackets.

First time using autoprefixer. I'm currently running windows 10.

Settings are

  • visual cascade (unchecked)
  • Browsers -- '> 1%' -- 'last 4 versions' -- 'Firefox ESR' -- 'not ie < 10'

I am testing with a snippet of code I know to have no bugs, I have autoprefixed this snippet online using https://autoprefixer.github.io/. The autoprefixed snippet, which includes auto-prefixed grid properties, works great in IE.

I cannot get the same autoprefix result in Brackets. With the above settings no grid CSS is altered, although other autoprefixing does occur (I understand the default is 'grid: false').

How do I change this default using the Brackets extension? I have tried:

  • In settings adding another setting under Browsers 'grid: true'. This stops all autoprefixing.
  • In settings adding another setting under Browsers 'grid: on'. This stops all autoprefixing.
  • adding a comment to the top of my CSS sheet '/* autoprefixer grid: on */'. Autoprefixing works, but not for grid properties.

I'm a complete novice, any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

A.

@aaadddzzzIP uses very old Autoprefixer, which didn’t support grid: true.

Use Gup with PostCSS and Autoprefixer instead. It is a much better way: https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer#text-editors-and-ide

@mikaeljorhult can we update Autoprefixer? We need 9.3.1 (current is 7.x).
