Fails to install github-pages with v3.1.0 version of jekyll-sass-converter

[Mathiyarasy]

Hello Team

I am unable to install "github-pages" gems after the release of v3.1.0,.

Error message 👇

"sass" from sass conflicts with installed executable from sass-embedded

Bundler version: v2.6.3
sass-embedded : v 1.62.1
Temporary workaround: forcing jekkyll-sass-converter version to 3.0.0 before installing github-pages works fine.

example:
gem install sass-embedded -v 1.62.1 
gem install jekyll-sass-converter -v 3.0.0 
gem install jekyll github-pages

Hello @Mathiyarasy,
Thank you for reporting this issue. However, I do not see a solution at arm's length.

github-pages is constrained to use the legacy Sass library via older version of Jekyll (at 3.x). Were you attempting to install
jekyll-sass-converter-3.1.0 via a Gemfile?

Hello @ashmaroli

Thank you for your quick response

jekyll-sass-converter is installed as a part of
gem install jekyll command in a docker file

Jekyll version 4.3.4 installed in our images: worked fine.

Started getting a issue for the same Jekyll version in the newer images

When compared the dependencies figured this jekyll-sass-converter is updated from version 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

Forcing it to install 3.0.0 resolved our issue..

The issue here is primarily conflicting executables with the same name.
jekyll-sass-converter (JSC) v3.0 allowed installing older versions of sass-embedded (v1.54 and above) while JSC-3.1 requires at least sass-embedded-1.75.
So, since you're able to successfully install JSC-3.0 without the conflict, it most probably means your Docker container is installing an older version of sass-embedded itself.

While I agree that the current situation isn't ideal, your specific situation has a clear path forward. Since your dev environment is a sandboxed docker container, you can choose to override the legacy sass executable (calling Ruby Sass API) with the modern sass executable (calling Dart Sass).

Regardless, this issue is not resolvable at the Jekyll Sass Converter project aiming to advocate using recent versions of Sass.
