I'm on a Mac, macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Since i updated Chrome a week or two ago, changes i make to CSS files (or SCSS for what its worth) will be saved correctly always, but Chrome will only refresh the styles in my page once. Local Overrides are disabled, Workspaces set up correctly, Source Maps are and have always been proper and in place. Nothing actually changed in my environment, other than updating Chrome.
I tried resetting all the caches, tried hard reloads, removing cache internals even. I tried anything i could think of. I researched online but was not able to find answers to this particular problem.
So to sum it up:
I open Chrome
I load my page locally (a localhost environment)
I open Developer Tools
I pick an element on my page
I click on the name of the resource on the right (a CSS or SCSS file)
I make changes to the source of the CSS/SCSS file file via the sources tab
I hit save. Changes are saved. Netbeans if open will immediately show the changes. If it was a SASS file, NetBeans triggers the compile on change
Chrome updates the styles in the page as it should
I make another change in Sources panel
I save the changes
Changes are saved – if NetBeans is open it will show the changes immediately and if it is a SASS file it will compile it
Chrome does not update the styles in the page. Never again until i reload.
I even reinstalled Chrome. Removed ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome entirely and restarted the browser after, starting off with a completely fresh profile. Still no jazz.
Can someone point me in the right direction here?
After my frustration went through the roof, i decided to meticulously cut down content from my rather large primary SCSS file for the page, reloading the page each time, trying and testing out making changes. Turns out the problem went away as soon as i removed a certain #import on top of the file. But other imports worked.
Why?
The imported file was for fonts. It contained various #font-face definitions. And on the bottom i had two `#import' statements referring to external resources via http.
I removed those and bingo – now Chrome was updating the styles properly with every change i made. Problem solved. Is this a bug? I don't know.
I then tried to place the imports directly in the main SCSS file on top, and even then they will cause the problem to occur.
The SASS documentation has this to say:
Plain CSS #imports
Because #import is also defined in CSS, Sass needs a way of compiling plain CSS
#imports without trying to import the files at compile time. To accomplish this, and to ensure SCSS is as much of a superset of CSS as possible, Sass will compile any #imports with the following characteristics to plain CSS imports:
Imports where the URL ends with .css.
Imports where the URL begins http:// or https://.
Imports where the URL is written as a url().
Imports that have media queries.
In other words, i basically wrote a normal CSS #import and while i have not tested this in other environments or systems, any such statements seem to break Chrome's ability to automatically update styles for a page after it was done once.
So to save others time who might stumble upon this: Get rid of your #imports and you'll be good.
The accepted answer of this question contains a good explanation.
I'm using Chrome's Lighthouse audit to make some performance improvements to a website and there are some styles under the "Remove unused CSS' section that I cannot locate anywhere on the site.
The ones I am questioning are the 2 lines starting html, body etc.
They look a bit like reset styles but aren't the ones I have in the CSS file.
I've tried searching the theme files (this is a shopify site), the page source, turning off javascript and these styles don't show up anywhere.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Since it's a Shopify Site it's using the Shopify style CDN by default. Since it's a CDN the css files are not going to be found in your project directory but rather on Shopify's website. An example of a style CDN can be found here, this one is for bootstrap.It uses a URL to access style options that are stored on their servers so you don't have to download the CSS locally.
Here's more on CDNs.
As for your issue, it looks like your project is referencing these CDNs but you're not using them. If you can find where in your project these CDNs are linked and remove them/comment them out it should resolve the issue.
Here's a similar question about whether or not it's safe to remove unused/deferred styles for Shopify.
I'm developing a webpage and I use Bootswatch for styling. Sometimes I have to work offline, and host locally. Unfortunately Bootswatch can't be used offline since it uses a version of Bootstrap css with an extra font at the begining:
#import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,700");
This means build fails every time, and I can't deploy. I've seen the question:
Bootstrap CSS without Google Fonts
But it doesn't have a satisfactory answer. They suggest just deleting that line, but I still need it when deploying, and because of version updates it would get overwritten very fast anyway at the next update. I'm looking for a solution which either:
ignores the import, when offline
overwrites the import, when offline (ex. import manually the font, and then change the import for a local one), I'd very much like this version
And all this as a final solution, I don't want to change the code after every npm/bower update...
The latest Bootswatch versions (> 3.3.6.1) introduce a SASS variable $web-font-path that you can override and set to an empty value:
// use google fonts api offline
$web-font-path: '';
#import "fonts.yeti.offline";
#import "yeti/variables";
#import "yeti/bootswatch";
To serve the required fonts offline, I used https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com to generate the fonts.yeti.offline.scss file and to download the required font files. To switch between online and offline mode, you can toggle the first two lines in your code.
According to this and this discussions I found good and simple way to disable font loading in Bootswatch scss:
$web-font-path: false;
I'm a beginner coder and am trying to integrate my css into my app. Using Rails 4 + Bootstrap 3.
I wrote out the html + css for the front-end of my app prior and it all worked fabulously. I moved everything to my folder and edited my V + C accordingly.
I have installed the bootstrap-sass gem successfully. Have updated my assets application and js. I have a .scss file importing bootstrap and my Google fonts.
Bootstrap, Bootstrap js, and Google fonts are working selectively/randomly on certain pages, but not fully on a page or they just don't work at all or they are there but all messed up now. (ex. modal not working on one page, but js element on another page works) I am trying to call the css files from where they are locally stored.
My questions:
1. Is there something I would need to edit to integrate the two in addition to the above?
2. Do I have to transition my css into another file?
3. If there is no easy way to fix this, should I just start over with my css?
Would appreciate any tips. Thanks!
A good starting point would be to check your sources under the inspector, to make the that the css and javascript are both being required. Also check the console for whether there are any javascript errors.
Assuming you are on google chrome, and on a mac, that would be cmd+alt+i, and ctrl+alt+i on windows.
You can also check which files are being included through checking page source by right clicking most parts of the page.
If they are being required and styles are not being applied then something else is probably getting in the way( i.e. bootstrap javascript files are being required twice, css is being overwritten because of load order, etc)
I am migrating from bootstrap 2.3 to bootstrap 3 and everything works well. But when I tried to add some icons, the icon font doesn't displayed properly. I tried to look over here http://bootply.com/61521 and only '.glyphicon-envelope' was being displayed properly. Others have displayed like 'E001' and so on.
How can I be able to solve this problem?
For other browsers, glyphicons are displayed properly, only firefox was unables to display it properly.
Did you choose the customized version of Bootstrap? There is an issue that the font files included in the customized package are broken (see https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/9925). If you do not want to use the CDN, you have to download them manually and replace your own fonts with the downloaded ones:
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot
After that try a strong reload (CTRL + F5), hope it helps.
the icons and the css are now seperated out from bootstrap. here is a fiddle that is from another stackoverflow answer
#import url("//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0-rc2/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css");

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons CDN
OK, my problem was not answered by the above. I had the fonts folder at the same location as the bootstrap css and js folders (eg /theme/bootstrap3/..), but it was looking for the font folder in the root (eg /fonts/glyph.. .woff)
The solution for me was to set the #icon-font-path variable to the correct relative path:
Eg #icon-font-path: "fonts/";
Here's the fix that worked for me. Firefox has a file origin policy that causes this. To fix do the following steps:
open about:config in firefox
Find security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy property and change it from ‘true’ to ‘false.’
Voial! you are good to go!
Details:

You will only see this issue when accessing a file using file:/// protocol
I had the same problem using a local apache server. This solved my problem:

For Amazon s3 you need to edit your CORS configuration:
<CORSConfiguration>
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<AllowedHeader>Authorization</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>
First of all, I try to install the glyphicons fonts by the "oficial" way, with the zip file. I could not do it.
This is my step-by-step solution:
Go to the web page of Bootstrap and then to the "Components"
section.
Open the browser console. In Chrome, Ctrl+Shift+C.
In section Resources, inside Frames/getbootstrap.com/Fonts you will
find the font that actually is running the glyphicons. It's
recommended to use the private mode to evade cache.
With URL of
the font file (right-click on the file showed on resources list),
copy it in a new tab, and press ENTER. This will download the font
file.
Copy another time the URL in a tab and change the font
extension to eot, ttf, svg or woff, ass you like.
However, for a more easy acces, this is the link of the woff file.
http://getbootstrap.com/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff
I ended up switching to Font-Awesome Icons. They are just as good if not better, and all you need to do is link in the font, happy days.
make sure the name of the folder that contains the font name is "fonts" not "font"
you can use tag like this:
<i class="fa fa-edit"></i>
Just in case :
For example, I just tryed <span class="icones glyphicon glyphicon-pen">
and after one hour i realized that this icon was not included in the bootstrap pack !! While the enveloppe icon was working fine..
Hope this helps
As others have noted, there are some issues with the customizer.
I was having troubles with the glyphicons not showing either, as well as issues with the navbar layout.
I used the suggestion and uploaded the fonts from the full zip/overwrote the ones from the customized version and that fixed the icons issues.
I also pulled in the CDN CSS and javascript instead of my local copy from the CDN. This fixed my navbar issues.
So I recommend until you get the hang of Bootstrap, not to use the customized version since you might get some frustrating, unwanted results.
For me placing my fonts folder as per location specified in bootstrap.css solved the problem
Mostly its fonts folder should be in parent directory of bootstrap.css file .
I faced this problem , and researching many answers , if anyone still in 2015 faces this problem then its either a CSS problem , or location mismatch for files .
The bug has already been solved by bootstrap
This is the official documentation supporting the above answers.
Changing the icon font location
Bootstrap assumes icon font files will be located in the ../fonts/ directory, relative to the compiled CSS files. Moving or renaming those font files means updating the CSS in one of three ways:
Change the #icon-font-path and/or #icon-font-name variables in the source Less files.
Utilize the relative URLs option provided by the Less compiler.
Change the url() paths in the compiled CSS.
Use whatever option best suits your specific development setup.
Other than this one mistake the new users would do is, after downloading the bootstrap zip from the official website. They would tend to skip the fonts folder for copying in their dev setup. So missing fonts folder can also lead to this problem
Try using CDN
Try setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP Header
