Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 8,590 PointsSass won't update unless canceled
I'm working on a small project and am using Sass. Recently though, I notice it will not update my file unless I hit ctrl+c to stop then run sass --watch . to watch the file again.
After doing some searching I updated all my gems and it's still the same problem. I'm at a lost as to what to do next. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I'm running sass v. 3.3.8 on Mac v. 10.9.3 if that helps.

$ sass --watch .:.
