When using
go-libsass(which useslibsass) on OSX 14.1.1, it would fail with "File to import not found or unreadable: " errors.The issue is in
libsassin theread_filefunction infile.cpp. On non-_WIN32 OS's it usesstd::ifstreamto read the file. On OSX it always fails withstrerror(errno)saying "Failure: too many open files".On my system,
ulimitandulimit -nreturn the default "unlimited" / 256. So I tried raising it in/Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plistbut it still didn't help.I tried reverting the most recent change in
file.cppwhich usedfopeninstead ofstd::ifstream. It still failed.So, I tried using the Darwin
open/readand it works!
