Direzione di ricerca

Inizia da src/resources/formats/html/bootstrap/_bootstrap-variables.scss nei due controlli collegati nell’issue e confrontali con il controllo null esistente per pre-color. Riproduci il problema con gli esempi forniti custom.scss e index.qmd usando quarto render index.qmd. Il lavoro è completato quando i temi che dichiarano $body-bg o $body-color come null vengono renderizzati con i valori di fallback documentati.

Bug description

Quarto's Bootstrap variables test variable-exists(body-bg) and variable-exists(body-color) to decide whether a theme has set them.
variable-exists() is true for a variable that holds null, so a theme that declares $body-bg: null !default; makes $body-contrast-bg null, and compilation stops.

The pre-color check a few lines above already handles this case with variable-exists(pre-color) and $pre-color != null:

A null declaration at the root is what Dart Sass itself recommends.
A theme that sets $body-bg only under some condition has to declare it first, or use !global inside the @if, which Dart Sass flags as deprecated:

DEPRECATION WARNING [new-global]: As of Dart Sass 2.0.0, !global assignments won't be able to declare new variables.

Recommendation: add `$body-bg: null` at the stylesheet root.

Following that advice breaks the render, so the theme is stuck with the deprecation.
I also tried $primary: null !default;, and that one renders.

Steps to reproduce

custom.scss:

/*-- scss:defaults --*/
$body-bg: null !default;

index.qmd:

---
title: "Null body-bg"
format:
  html:
    theme: [default, custom.scss]
---

Hello.

Run quarto render index.qmd.
Replace $body-bg with $body-color for the second error.

Actual behavior

With $body-bg: null !default;:

ERROR: Theme file compilation failed:

Error: $color: null is not a color.
    ╷
827 │   $red: _linear-channel-value(quarto-color.red($color));
    │                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    ╵
  ... 827:31   luminance()
  ... 837:13   quarto-contrast()
  ... 854:19   tone()
  ... 508:7    theme-contrast()

With $body-color: null !default; and the default theme:

Error: $color1: null is not a color.
Expected behavior

A null value counts as "not set", as it already does for $pre-color.
Quarto falls back to $white and $gray-900, and the document renders.
