HUGO v0.47.1 running on Windows.
Following quick start - works just fine with Ananke theme.
Trying to use hugo-fresh theme but on running
hugo server
get error message
Full Error - failed to transform resource: TOCSS: failed to transform "style.sass" (text/x-sass):
this feature is not available in your current Hugo version
Not sure where to start here - is it a problem with the theme or with my installation? (guessing PIPES for sass files but not sure where to start looking)
SOLVED - its because I didn’t download the extended version of HUGO
Remove --tags extended if you do not want/need Sass/SCSS support
I install by open source.
mkdir $HOME/src
cd $HOME/src
git clone https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo.git
cd hugo
go install --tags extended
Hi,
I’m at my wits end. I get the this error:
… failed to transform resource: TOCSS: failed to transform “scss/main.scss” (text/x-scss): this feature is not available in your current Hugo version…
I read all the blogs and I have the extended version (I think):
$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.53/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown
and I did the “?npm install -g postcss-cli” and all their variations, -D, sudo, …
but I keep having the problem
What does work is:
{{ $styles := resources.Get “scss/main.scss”}}
but it stops working when I add the " | toCSS"
regards
Steven
Try renaming the folder to sass instead of scss. I remember having the same issues. It’s semantics 
(resulting paths in your templates of course too)
Nope, didn’t work. 
What is the EXACT error message AFTER you change the folder to sass? (At least your version paste confirmed that you have extended installed. So this is not the issue here.)
wait, of course rename the files into .sass too, not just the folder. sorry, my fault.
sorry same thing
this is my full output:

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.These lines tell me that something else is calling a hugo and a css job. You should make your repo public to let people see what exactly your build script is doing.
What COULD be is that you have a local hugo install that is older than the scss features and a global version that is up-to-date but unused. My hugo run never says anything like “Starting ‘css’” so it must be something in your gulp setup. Without public repo nobody knows what is going on in your install.
First, I am a NOOB with Hugo and trying to create my first site for a friend. So forgive me my “stupid” stuff. It’s also going to be full of things I no longer use.
Second, I’m using netlifycms. Could that be an issue?
…
and while writing my second point
…
I found that it’s related with the netlify cms. Investigating further
