26,167 PointsArguments across multiple Sass files
I'm having trouble setting up multiple Sass files joining into 1 main.scss then compiling into main.css. When I have _variables.scss _mixins.scss main.scss Sass returns an error when I use a variable from _variables.scss in _mixins.scss.
Example
In _variables.scss
$fontColor: #515151;
_mixins.scss
@mixin typography ($fontColor) {
h1 { color: $fontColor; }
}
main.scss
@import '_variables.scss';
@import '_mixins.scss';
Sass returns that $fontColor is an undefined argument in _mixins.scss even though I'm importing each and its only compiling main.scss to main.css.
I'm missing something and any help is appreciated!

so
@import 'variables.scss'; etc.

@include typography ($fontColor);
