Changed include files are not recompiling on page load without changed to master file

[GregHausheer]

Given this:

PIPELINE_CSS = {
'screen': {
'source_filenames': (
'css/*.css',
'sass/main.scss',
),
'output_filename': 'css/screen.css',
'variant': 'datauri',
'extra_context': {
'media': 'screen,projection',
},
},
}

PIPELINE_COMPILERS = (
'pipeline.compilers.coffee.CoffeeScriptCompiler',
'pipeline_compass.compiler.CompassCompiler',
)

And scss file main.scss

@import "compass/css3";
@import "nav";

And the scss file _nav.scss

.navbar {
background-color:$ghost;
}

Changing "background-color:$ghost" to "background-color:red" does not cause a change in the compiled output until saving main.scss after saving _nav.scss.

ie, change nav, save nav does not work, but change nav, save nav, and then save main works.

I had the same issue, here's my hotfix (just always forces a recompile):

class ForceRebuildCompassCompiler(CompassCompiler):
    def compile_file(self, content, path, force=False, outdated=False):
        force = True
        super(ForceRebuildCompassCompiler, self).compile_file(content, path, force, outdated)

And then I refer to that instead in my django-pipeline configuration:

PIPELINE = {
    'COMPILERS': (
        'myproj.apps.ForceRebuildCompassCompiler',
    ),
    # […]
}
