A new CSS directory has not been created.

Hello All,

I have typed the command I suppose without an error:

MacBook-Pro-Ewa:lake-tahoe ewaczech$ sass --watch scss:css

Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop. [Listen warning]: Listen will be polling for changes. Learn more at https://github.com/guard/listen#polling-fallback.

however, I do not see CSS directory being created in my 'lake-tahoe' folder. Any idea what may have gone wrong? When trying the same command before removing the original CSS folder, CSS map sheet has not been created either.

Thank you!

Are you in your root user directory? Unless you tell it otherwise (sass --watch path/to/your/project/scss/*:path/to/your/project/css), Sass will only poll for files in the current directory.

Have you renamed style.css to style.scss?
