`//` comments result in `Unknown word`

If a file has a comment with //, the loader will fail with the error:

    Module build failed: CssSyntaxError: /Users/Greg1/projects/opensignal-toolchain/node_modules/scss-lint-loader/index.js!/Users/Greg1/projects/opensignal-toolchain/lib/css/index.scss:2:4: Unknown word

@jhnns false alarm, sorry!

We were mis-using the ExtractTextPlugin plugin and sass-loader wasn’t even invoked, hence the parse error when css-loader tried to parse the raw sass.

For reference, the corrected version of the loader that we now use is as follows:

{
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(
                "style",
                "css?sourceMap!postcss!sass?sourceMap"
        )
}

Maybe some of the other reported errors are also due to a misconfiguration of something other than sass-loader itself.

In your configuration, the postcss-loader is executed before the sass-loader. Maybe PostCSS isn’t able to parse SASS? 😁
