Configure Guidewire Studio for Sass files

Guidewire Studio does not provide enhanced editing for Sass files, but you have several options for working with these files.

About this task

For certain file types, Guidewire Studio provides enhanced editors that provide additional functionality, such as syntax highlighting. Studio does not provide an enhanced editor for Sass files, so when you open a Sass file in Studio it appears in a basic text editor. If you want to edit Sass files in a syntax-aware editor, you have several other options.

One option is to configure Studio to use the Ultimate Edition of IntelliJ IDEA. The Ultimate Edition includes an internal editor that supports Sass files.

Another option is to configure Studio to open Sass files in an external editor that supports Sass files, as described in the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Configure your operating system to associate a particular editor with Sass files.
    For example, in Microsoft Windows, you can associate a Sass-aware editor with .scss files.
  2. In Guidewire Studio, click File > Settings.
  3. In the Default Settings dialog, in the navigation list, click Editor > File Types.
  4. In the Recognized File Types pane, click Files Opened In Associated Applications.
  5. In the Registered Patterns pane, click Add .
  6. In the Add Wildcard dialog, type *.scss.
  7. Click OK, and then click OK again to close the Default Settings dialog.
