And, when I change my .scss file, in my terminal I see write ./main.css instead of overwrite ./main.css

11,475 PointsI've got the same problem.. sass --watch try.scss gave me 2 new files; try.css and try.css.map on my desktop.
and the terminal printed:
Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop. write try.css write try.css.map [Listen warning]: Listen will be polling for changes. Learn more at https://github.com/guard/listen#polling-fallback.
If I make changes in the .scss file and save it, it doesn't update or watch anything..
A virtual kiss for the rescuer!
