I'm running node-sass --output-style compressed -w src -o src\css on a directory like the one shown below.

|<-src
||<-css
||test.css
|test.scss

node-sass should just update test.css each time I save test.scss. Right now that's working fine, but there there there appears to be a side effect that creates a new css folder inside the existing folder with the updated file. So the directory now looks like

|<-src
||<-css
|||<-css(additional unwanted folder)
|||test.css(additional unwanted file)
||test.css
|test.scss

and if I save the file again, the pattern continues on and on. Each time I save the file, here is the output I get from the terminal.

Z:\Documents\Visual Studio Code\relianceplumbing> node-sass --output-style compressed -w src -o src\css

Can you try not nesting the output directory under the input, that usually causes problems which most applications
