[PHPStorm 8] Setting Up Compass File Watcher

As far as I know, Jeffery uses (most of the time) gulp for this.

Go to settings, there's "File Watchers" under project settings. Click the + button to add a watcher and select compass/sass or scss whatever. You might need to play with the options in there a bit...

@ozanhazer Hi, yes, I do have the PHPStorm File Watcher settings configured. If I remember correctly, I never had to adjust those settings, but did have to make some installations and configurations on my Mac. I just can't remember what. :(

@MThomas, yes, I have watched those lessons many times, and have used them successfully. I would normally do that, but this project can't use any composer packages, so I'm not using Gulp or any other asset management system (it's a Wordpress theme).

Thanks for your ideas so far. I will keep looking as well, and post back when I find the solution. :)

hmm if I'm not wrong you don't have to use gulp as an asset manager or anything, you could set it up to watch some directories only in your dev machine... I prefer setting up phpstorm however, it just works no need to start some watcher everytime I start working...

Somehow settings got screwed up ... not sure what happened. So I deleted the .idea folder in my project and let it detect the SCSS file type, and configure the watcher automatically again. This time it worked. :)
