Removal of sassc dependency

[marcrohloff]

Can the sassc dependency be removed?

We are using dartsass and would rather not have this as an explicit dependency

[Deele]

AFAIK, this project does not support DartSass and is using sassc/LibSass (C++ one, not Ruby one).

DartSass is very different from LibSass, don't expect this project to work properly with it.

I realize that. It would be nice to not have the unneeded dependency since sassc is no longer maintained and it seems to be working fine for us. Changing to a newer version of bootstrap but that is a much bigger project

Version 3.4.2 did break support for sassc/libsass by introducing math.div. Everyone will have to upgrade to dartsass/dartsass-sprockets now. Using sassc will not work anymore at all.

Any update on this? - is there an alternative gem that doesn't use the deprecated sassc?

@rgaufman I can confirm that switching from sassc to dartsass-sprockets works for our Rails 7 app.

But if we try to switch to dartsass-rails, assets:precompile fails.

Reading through the code of this gem, it seems that sprockets-rails is not a dependency. Is there anyone who has gotten this to work with dartsass-rails? (I started a new issue for this in #1247)
