Sass watch is detecting changes but not compiling

Question

When I run sass --watch app.sass:app.css terminal shows that changes have been detected to sass but won't compile to css. I am using Bourbon so all my .scss and .sass files are imported via mixins.

ex.

 >>> Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.
 >>> Change detected to: css/2-modules/top-nav.scss

Answer 1

check for the Config.rb file in your folder. without it you have to Ctr c every time and pass this command sass --watch scssname:cssname

then You can find your code in css.

Answer 2

Make sure the file you are saving with an _filename.scss has been properly imported into the mainfile.scss. if you have not imported the _filename.scss it will detect a change but not compile.

Answer 3

Are you sure all of your partials are being imported into app.scss? I had the same issue, only to realize the partial file I was modifying (_custom.scss) wasn't actually being imported by the main.scss.
