SASS - problem with windows 8.1

I have problems with SASS. After updating the file, the .scss

file .css

will not be updated.

Let's say this is my folder structure:

-scss
    -style.scss
-css
    -style.css

index.html

And I am using this command from the project root in cmd:

sass --watch scss/style.scss:css/style.css --style compressed

It compiles it for the first time, but when I make some changes to the file .scss

it doesn't update.

I use:

win 8.1 64bit
ruby 2.0.0p481 64bit
Sass 3.4.2

How do I get him to follow the updates? Or am I doing something wrong?

thank

Update : Tested the same on ubuntu 14.04 and it works just fine (however on ubuntu I installed the latest ruby ​​- ruby 2.1.2p95 )

Update 2 : GitHub issue

This was a bug in Sass 3.4.2: https://github.com/sass/sass/issues/1409

This was fixed in Sass 3.4.3: http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_CHANGELOG.html#343_4_september_2014



If you are using Bundler, make sure your Sass version is not restricted 3.4.2

in yours Gemfile

. Recommended string gem 'sass', '~> 3.4.3'

. Run bundle update

at the root of your project.

If you are not using Bundler, just run gem update sass

.

I also ran into this problem. I downgraded Sass to 3.3.14 and it worked for me again. I do not know why.



Usage: Win 8.1 64bit ruby ​​2.0.0p481 64bit

I had the same problem and didn't help the solution. It looks like ruby ​​on windows 8 has a problem with WDM (Windows Directory Monitor) and the command --watch

is not working correctly.

I solved the problem this way:

  • Downloaded and installed Installed Ruby 1.9.3p550 - Download Link
  • Downloaded and installed development kit (which is required to install WDM) for Ruby 1.9.3 - DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20110712-1620-sfx.exe
  • Extract DevKit to path C: \ Ruby193 \ DevKit
  • Execute cd C:\Ruby193\DevKit

  • Run ruby dk.rb init

  • Run ruby dk.rb review

  • Run ruby dk.rb install

  • Then run gem install wdm

And after that the command --watch

works correctly.

Hope this helps someone.
