Overwritten CSS file bug. (SASS -> 'compiled css' -> browser) #87

Closed thenyel closed 10 years ago

thenyel commented 10 years ago

So I'm trying to make a 1 direction binding by having LiveStyle listen to the SASS compiled CSS which is open in sublime. the workflow looks like this:

  1. Sublime Opens a SASS compiled CSS
  2. LiveStyle listens to the compiled CSS
  3. A grunt watch is running, recompiling the CSS as SASS file is changed
  4. Sublime listens to the file update and updates current workfile (where LiveStyle listens to. \ this is where it breaks
  5. LiveStyle finds the file was changed, but since the file was Overwritten, the link seems to be broken, and the CSS styles in the browser is lost.

I feel this is more about the Chrome Plugin issue. but couldn't find the source anywhere.

LiveStyle wasn’t designed for such workflow: it tracks local changes (e.g. in editor) but completely resets its state when document is changed outside.

You should use something like LiveReload or grunt-watch for such workflow.
