Can I make a change to a SASS file in the custom part of our SCA (22.2) theme directly in the file cabinet and activate? Or will it not compile since it’s not going through the gulp deploy process? I ask because I needed to make a quick change to a SASS file, did so, and now I see an error

Uncaught Error: View doesn't have a template

in the console, and that SASS file was literally the only thing I changed. Is there a fix for this that doesn’t involve gulp?

We don't support/encourage that

I am aware. As soon as I clicked Saved, I knew it was probably an issue. I just wanted ask about a work around.

You can always try to sneak in some css in a cms zone....then when you have time to deploy move it into the theme. I only recommend this method for emergencies.
