Alpha 6 ignoring _custom.scss

[bluesurfer]

I am trying to customize Bootstrap by editing _custom.scss like this:

$blue: red !default

But, when compiling with grunt dist-css, the new version seem to ignore _custom.scss - nothing changes. On the other hand editing directly _variables.scss works. Am I missing something new or is this an actual bug?

This is caused by #21442 I also have the same issue

Drop the !default. https://jsbin.com/ficofo/edit?html,css,output

@mdo Yes, I don't have the !default on the custom values. What I don't understand is while $grid-breakpoints and $container-max-widths do work the other custom values are ignored.

I can confirm the issue, here is my _custom.scss:

$brand-primary:             #f0941c;
$brand-inverse:             #0f6be3;
$brand-danger:              #e15325;
$body-color:                #505455;

and all those variables are ignored.

The reasons is that values from _variables.scss are used in mixins before including _custom.scss.

Here is your modified example to demo the behaviour: https://jsbin.com/qutoniseci/edit?html,css,output
