Modular CSS with Sass code, Challenge task 1 of 1

Use a Sass introspection function to import the URL value of the $font-url variable, if it exists in the current scope.

this is my code:

@if varible-exists(font-url) { @import url(font-url); }

And eror: Bummer! You need to call the variable-exists function.

Can someone suggest what is wrong in my code ?

@if variable-exists(font-url) { @import url($font-url); } CORRECT

You misspelled variable in your if statement :)

I know what already is happening.

The parameter of variable-exists, should not have "$", but inside the function when you import the URL yes you need put the "$".

Let me know if working.

@if variable-exists(font-url--google) { @import url($font-url--google); } CORRECT thank you!

Just you forget the $ on the variable inside the "url"; @if varible-exists(font-url) { @import url($font-url); }

I used this and still get it wrong

@if variable-exists($font-url) { @import url($font-url); }

I got this error Sass Error: Undefined variable: "$font-url".

you set the variable in another file?

$font-url: 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto';

They only give us 1 file. style.scss

putting this I got the same error. $font-url: 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto'; @if variable-exists($font-url) { @import url($font-url); }

Try with this:

$font-url--google : 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,100,300,100italic,300italic,400italic,500,500italic,700,700italic,900,900italic';

@if variable-exists(font-url--google) { @import url($font-url--google); }

That is the same code from the workspace. I tried and even remove the --google but still did not work.

Yes, but maybe with declare options in the font helps.

Can you say me what the error said?

You need to call the variable-exists function, passing the name of the font-url variable as a parameter.

Great! :)
