I am redesigning the file system for a website that I'm working on in Workspaces. I've moved files around into this configuration:
But my sass --watch does not seem to be working anymore, and I get this error message:
What should i do if i want to sass --watch to folders within folders? Is there anything that I need to do different?
Thanks! XD

For the sake of argument, let's say that your project is in the website folder. Inside that folder is your styles folder which would then have nested in there a scss and a css folder, correct?
You would navigate in the command line (console) to the styles folder, at which point you would run the sass --watch scss:css command.
Let me know if that makes sense and/or works for your development situation.
Happy coding,

I didn't see your file tree come through on the post, but for me I have two folders, scss and css. All of my scss code goes into the scss folder and then when I run sass --watch scss:css it will watch all of the subfolders of scss and if my manifests are done correctly it outputs the single file to the css folder.

Run sass --watch scss:css from inside your styles folder at the command line.

24,862 Pointshow do i do that?
styles/sass --watch css:css ?
I just ran this and it said that there is no such file or directory named styles/sass, which there is not.
So I must be missing some simple, magic command to make it work then?
Richard Nash
24,862 PointsYes, that is what I am trying to do, I just don't know how to use the command line very well. I will go research using the command line and hopefully I can figure it out. Do you have any command line resources that you recommend?
