scsslint

library0.0.3jsnpmunverified

Legacy Node.js bindings for the Ruby-based scss-lint tool (v0.0.3). This package wraps the Ruby gem and provides a simple API to lint SCSS files programmatically from Node.js. It is part of the grunt-scsslint ecosystem and has not been updated since 2014. It requires Ruby and the scss-lint gem to be installed separately. Not to be confused with modern SCSS linters like stylelint-scss. Active development ceased; use at your own risk.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

ScssLinter

✓ const ScssLinter = require('scsslint');

✗ import ScssLinter from 'scsslint';

ESM import will not work; this package only supports CommonJS `require`.

constructor

✓ const linter = new ScssLinter();

✗ const linter = ScssLinter();

Must use `new` keyword; calling without `new` will cause a runtime error.

lint method

✓ linter.lint(files, options, callback);

✗ linter.lint(files, callback, options);

Argument order is files, options, callback — not files, callback, options.

Shows how to install, require, instantiate, and call the lint method with files, options, and callback.

Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires Ruby and scss-lint gem installed separately. Without them, the package will fail silently or throw a cryptic error.

fix

Install Ruby and run `gem install scss-lint` before using this package.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe package exports a constructor, not a factory. Calling `ScssLinter()` without `new` will not create a proper instance.

fix

Always use `new ScssLinter()`.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe underlying scss-lint Ruby gem is deprecated and unmaintained. Use stylelint with scss plugin instead.

fix

Migrate to stylelint and @stylelint/postcss-css-in-js or similar modern tooling.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe `lint` method expects files as an array of strings, options object, and a callback. Incorrect argument ordering will cause unexpected behavior.

fix

Ensure arguments are: files (array), options (object), callback (function).

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaNo error handling if the scss-lint gem is not installed; the callback may never be called or receive an error.

fix

Check for Ruby and scss-lint availability before using the package, or wrap call in try-catch.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'scsslint'

Package not installed or npm failed to install due to missing Ruby dependencies.

fix

Run `npm install scsslint --save` and ensure Ruby is installed.

ScssLinter is not a constructor

Called `ScssLinter()` without `new`.

fix

Change to `new ScssLinter()`.

sh: scss-lint: command not found

Ruby gem scss-lint is not installed or not in PATH.

fix

Install Ruby, then run `gem install scss-lint`.

TypeError: linter.lint is not a function

Import failed or the package didn't load correctly (e.g., due to CJS/ESM mismatch).

fix

Use CommonJS `require` and ensure the package is installed properly.
