Help with SASS. How to get automatic updates from .scss to .css????

What is this? :o and how can I fix this?

I have folder named "sass-test-project" on may desktop and two other folder in "sass-test-project" named "sass" and "stylesheets", inside sass folder is file named "style.scss".

No changes in style.scss is visible in style.css :/

C:\Users\Kristutė\Desktop\sass-test-project>sass sass/style.scss p { color: red; }

C:\Users\Kristutė\Desktop\sass-test-project>sass --watch sass/style.scss:stylesheets/style.css

Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop. Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: IBM775 and UTF-8

Use --trace for backtrace.

C:\Users\Kristutė\Desktop\sass-test-project>sass --watch sass:stylesheets

Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop. write stylesheets/style.css write stylesheets/style.css.map

Change detected to: ../../../Kristutė/Desktop/sass-test-project/sass/style.scss

Is everything correct with your CSS code inside sass-test-project/sass/style.scss?

I don't know, I just typed:

p { color: red; }

for testing...

Did you copy and paste any text into the sass files?

That error seams to point to some character/keyboard issue with your files or installation.

ruby -e 'puts Encoding::default_external'

IBM775

ruby -e 'puts Encoding::defaul_internal'

null

So, I think that external encoding might be the problem, because it's IBM775, not UTF-8? What do you think?
