So what do you recommend doing? Because I need to to the li set-responsive-options to do local Sass compilation through studio too so it will know which skin to serve right? Should I go in and manually copy all the contents of the read only files of theme_support?
Ah, sorry, I mis-spoke. Of course we do support local Sass compilation via li serve-sass. But the Community SDK code does not currently handle core theme code.
Back to SuzieH 's original response, this could be considered a bug, and is worth reporting to Support.
In the meantime, you could use Parshant 's workaround, which I believe is to create a new custom skin derived from "theme_support". This is effectively a copy of theme_support, and since it's custom, Community SDK should allow you to export it. You could then rename your local copy to "theme_support" and see if that allows you to compile locally via li serve-sass. Not sure if Parshant has actually done this exact thing. I have not.
Another option is to manually copy files out of Studio. You're right that that doesn't sound like much fun.
So create a skin in studio with its parent being theme_support, just call it theme_support, don't change any files, and then do li export-studio-plugin and it should download what is in theme_support?
