The error message “undefined variable $theme-colors-rgb” in Sass indicates that you are trying to use a variable that has not been defined in your Sass files. Here are steps to troubleshoot and solve this issue:

Step 1: Check Variable Definition

  1. Locate Variable Declaration: Ensure that the variable $theme-colors-rgb is defined in your Sass code. This is typically done in a _variables.scss or similar file.
    // Example of defining the variable
    $theme-colors-rgb: (255, 0, 0); // Define your RGB values here
    
  2. Correct Scope: Make sure the variable is defined in a scope that is accessible from where you’re trying to use it. If you’re using partials, ensure that the file defining the variable is imported before it is used.

Step 2: Import the Variable File

If the variable is defined in a separate file, ensure you have imported that file correctly.

@import 'path/to/_variables'; // Adjust the path as necessary

Place this import statement at the top of your main Sass file or before any usage of $theme-colors-rgb.

Step 3: Check File Structure

Ensure that your file structure is correct and that the file containing the variable is in the expected location. If the file paths are incorrect, Sass won’t be able to find the variable definition.

Step 4: Review for Typos

Check for any typos in the variable name where it is defined and where it is used. Sass is case-sensitive, so $theme-colors-rgb is different from $Theme-Colors-RGB.

Step 5: Compile Order

Ensure that your Sass files are compiling in the correct order. If you are using a build tool (like Webpack, Gulp, or Grunt), the order of imports can affect variable availability.

Step 6: Check for Conditional Logic

If you have conditionals or guards that may prevent the variable from being defined, review that logic to ensure the variable is always defined before being used.

Example Fix

Here’s a simple example to illustrate how to define and use the variable correctly:

// _variables.scss
$theme-colors-rgb: (255, 0, 0); // Define the variable

// main.scss
@import 'variables'; // Ensure you import the variable file

body {
  background-color: rgba($theme-colors-rgb, 1); // Use the variable
}

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the “undefined variable” error in Sass related to $theme-colors-rgb. If you still encounter issues, double-check your imports and variable definitions for any inconsistencies.
