Settings Question: watching Scss with imports

[Igcorreia]

Hi I have a custom setup like:

/css/general.scss

and on that file I have:

@import './utilities/utilities'; @import './theme/variables';

in the index.html I am loading: /css/general.css

In order to automatically generate the css files, if I make a change in the variables file I need to also save the general file.

Is there a way to make the extension detect the imports and watch sub folders?

I think I'm having the same problem. My partial is not being watched for some reason.

The extension is set up to only consider files as partials when they start with an underscore i.e. "c:/project/path/partials/no-leading-underscore.scss" isn't a known partial but "c:/project/path/partials/_partial.scss" is. Once a partial file is saved it will compile all files in the project (according to your specified settings).

I take it you've had to add the utilities folder as an excluded path in your settings, to stop it from compiling them?

If my assumptions are wrong, can you please forward a screenshot of your folder structure, plus a copy of your settings

It compiled both the style.scss and _partial.scss  fine when I made a change in style.scss but not when I changed _partial.scss.  When I change my partial is says change detected but does not do anything.

I don't know anything about the utilities folder.

Ok I'll try that. I usually work with multi-root folders so maybe that is the issue. Just weird that it works but not for partials.

I have the same issue, when I edit and save a _partial.scss file don't compile. I need to go to the main style.scss file and save
