I am using use-package and straight (with (setq straight-use-package-by-default t)) to load my packages.

I would like to use this scss-mode package to work SCSS files. I am loading it with

(use-package scss-mode :mode "\\.scss'" :config (setq scss-compile-at-save t scss-sass-command "sassc"))

But Emacs still uses the built-in scss-mode when I open .scss files. How can I use the above mode instead? (Emacs 29.4).

  • What does M-x locate-library RET scss-mode RET say? If it does not point to where you've installed the mode, add the path to your load-path, at the beginning so it will override the built-in one. Also, I don't think your :mode specification above is correct. You should probably use what the linked documentation shows: : mode ("\\.scss\\'" . scss-mode). Check your auto-mode-alist to make sure it's correct. Commented Jan 28 at 14:31

See this link how to install a custom recipe. For your case, it should be something like this:

(straight-use-package scss-mode :straight (scss-mode :host github :repo "antonj/scss-mode" :files ("antonj/scss-mode/*.el")) :mode ("\\.scss\\'" . scss-mode))

If this is OK, then you can add your :config section as described in your code snippet.

  • I have nothing against old packages, but just wondering why you don't like the up-to-date built-in package. Commented Jan 30 at 14:04
