I have a problem using mixins included in Bourbon.
When this mixin uses the “compact” function of Bourbon, it just compile it into the css without using it.
Here is a screenshot of the rendred CSS for a box-shadow :

I use it on a non-static site, with the latest Sass version. I use Codekit to compile.

Thanks for help !

    Ok so after diving a bit deeper here is how I fixed it.

    This problem is probably being caused because of this commit:
    https://github.com/thoughtbot/bourbon/commit/ac07c990c0d0fe16f4c455490c9a9fdff7fe27af

    The compact function has been rewritten in Ruby to better integrate with Rails.
    Initially I just copy pasted the ‘stylesheet’ folder from the repo. And thats when I started false sytax.

    I fixed the error by reading the instructions 🙂 – the instruction on how to install it in Rails and then it worked.

    In your case, idk if they have a codekit implementation but I believe you can fix it by adding the following code:

    @function compact($var-1,        $var-2: false,
                      $var-3: false, $var-4: false,
                      $var-5: false, $var-6: false,
                      $var-7: false, $var-8: false,
                      $var-9: false, $var-10: false) {
      $full: $var-1;
      $vars: $var-2, $var-3, $var-4, $var-5,
             $var-6, $var-7, $var-8, $var-9, $var-10;
    
      @each $var in $vars {
        @if $var {
          $full: $full, $var;
        }
      }
      @return $full;
    }
    

    (I got the code from the repo)

    in a file name _function.scss inside your addons folder and reference it in _bourbon.scss. And that should fix your problem.
