I am using PhpStorm as my IDE and configured Sass to compile into my css file for my WordPress site. I have set up auto upload, which works on the file I am working on but not my style.css as my node watcher is updating it, not me.
Any ideas or solutions?

I have a style.sass file that #uses several _*.sass partials. That was all working fine. Now I added a _*.scss file (it just contains a map, so I wanted it to be multiline), but editing that file does not trigger a rebuild of the style.sass file. I tried adding a SCSS file watcher too, since I'm not sure how IntelliJ decides what to watch, but that didn't help.
It works fine using Dart-SASS's --watch argument. How do I make IntelliJ do the same?
(Although it's a Play project, I'm using IntelliJ's file watchers because I wanted to be able to use #use, so I needed Dart SASS.)
The watcher can only listen to changes in files of same type (either SASS or SCSS), depending on the watcher settings, so you can't make the watcher work for both .scss and .sass files at the same time unless you use a custom scope with both .sass and .scss files included and set File Type: to Any:
I'm working on a new project with Bunto, and it looks like the auto reload functionality is only triggered by updates to .md and .wiki files with the command bunto --auto --server.
How can I trigger an auto-reload for other file types like HTML, CSS3, JavaScript, NuxRB files in the _layouts folder with Bunto?
As of version 3.2.1, Bunto will auto-watch by default. It watched for changes, and regenerated automatically. Simply run the command bunto serve.
For disable auto-regeneration use bunto serve --no-watch.
I need to develop a plugin for Moodle, and i need to have some js and css files in plugin. But i have the next problem - how to work with them from installed plugin? Of course, i can hardcode their path via to moodle structure, but it's a very dirty and bad way. Also, i know that i can place all js and css code inline, but i think that it's a bad decision too. Is there a built-in way to serve assets from plugin? I tried to find it in documentations, but found nothing.
Thanks
I assume you want to know how to include CSS and JS files into your plugin.
You can include a JS file via the command:
$PAGE->requires->js( /relative/path/your_script.js');
You can then call a JS function once the page has been downloaded with the command:
$PAGE->requires->js_init_call ( your_JS_function_name, array_of_parameters_here, bool: on DOM ready);
For example:
$PAGE->requires->js_init_call('init', array($USER->lang), true);
Be sure to make the $PAGE available with global $PAGE;, first.
Your CSS file can be named styles.css and put into the root folder of your plugin. The file will be automatically read by the system and included. It will take precedence over (will overwrite the settings of) the system CSS files. After that you will have to reload the theme caches.
Recently my client switched from Eclipse to Intellij. In both IDEs I was editing SCSS files externally and running "compass watch" in terminal. This worked great in Eclipse. immediately after compiling SCSS file I was able to simply refresh browser and see the changes.
In Intellij it takes up to 30 seconds to see the changes, or if I enable "synchronize files on frame activation" I have to switch to browser first, then back to Intellij, and then back again to browser in order to force refresh. Third option is to manually sync "css" folder, which is not convenient. I had a same issue when I was editing and compiling SCSS files in Intellij.
How can I force Intellij to detect CSS file change faster?
I've found the solution.
Open "Settings / File Watchers" and go to SCSS. Make sure that field "Output paths to refresh" has the same value for the output as "Arguments" field.
For example, this is my setup:
Arguments:
--no-cache --update $FileName$:$FileParentDir$\css\$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css
Output paths to refresh:
$FileParentDir$\css\$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css
I have installed node package manager (npm) on my windows machine and then i ran the command "npm install less -g" and went on setting up the file watcher in PhpStorm for LESS. This worked very good. I also managed to get it to put the .css files in the css folder instead of in the less folder where I have my .less files.
My next step was to install yuicompressor so I ran the command "npm install yuicompressor -g". And then I set it up in PhpStorm by adding the yuicompressor for CSS, but it only creates empty .min.css files.
In the PhpStorm watcher settings I have set:
Program: "C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\npm\yuicompressor.cmd"
And ticked the box "Create output file from stdout"
I want to achieve this:
.less (project_root/less) -> .css (project_root/css) -> .min.css (project_root/css)
Is there any one else that has had the same problem, I can't seem to find any solution.
Btw, I also tried to install uglify-js, but with the same result, it only creates empy .min.js files.
Some extra info, my environment variables are as follows:
PATH (User) = C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\npm
Path (System) = C:\Program Files\nodejs\
I removed the "Create output file from stdout" (from the yui CSS file watcher and left it checked on the LESS file watcher) and it seemed to work. But I had to link to the yuicompressor.cmd and not the .jar file as mentioned in the links from LazyOne. I also had to uncheck the "Immediate file synchronization" on the LESS file watcher but needed it to be checked on the yui CSS file watcher.
Seems like its very tricky to get it to go from "LESS -> CSS -> CSS compressed" with only saving the .less file when editing, but with this setup it finally worked.
