When I try to format my scss file on my MacBook with cmd+k cmd+d, I get this error:
/bin/sh: sass-convert: command not found

I tried to install the sass command line tools with brew install and with sudo npm install -g. In both cases, the sass command can be found, though.

Same here.

Hello @MartyMaro, @dylanvdmerwe, thanks for reporting this issue.

This extension using Ruby Sass command line tools from the beggining, which were officially supported until March 26, 2018, and Dart Sass and JavaScript implementation of Sass is not supported at this moment.

So please use the old official procedure for installing Ruby Sass. More details about transition and old official procedure: https://github.com/sjova/vscode-sass-format#install-ruby-sass-via-command-line

I'll try to replace Ruby Sass with Dart Sass before June 26, 2018 (3 months from official replacement). Please note that pure JavaScript implementation of Sass will not be supported at all because it's slower than Dart Sass and/or Ruby Sass implementation.

sass-convert functionality is not yet provided in Dart implementation (more details: GitHub/Dart Sass/Are you planning to implement sass-convert?). I'll close this issue, and you can follow homepage for more updates about this.

I'll wait few more months, or I'll replace sass-convert with some alternative (node-sass, Sass.js).
