A small tip for those who use sass and use node-sass (and npm scripts):<p>I ran into a strange problem where if you use node-sass to watch a directory for some reason adding a new partial and the @import statements doesn&#x27;t quite work as it should. If you change something in the imported file, node-sass won&#x27;t recompile so you don&#x27;t see your changes. The only way around it is to re-save the file that does the @import, or restart the process.<p>The solution I found is to use the more generic &#x27;watch&#x27; package to watch the directory, and make it simply re-run node-sass without the watch flag. Aside from solving the problem, it also ended up feeling cleaner to use &#x27;watch&#x27; everywhere I needed it instead of relying on all the different watch approaches of the different tools.<p>The one downside is that certain tools&#x27; own watch capabilities are faster or do partial updates. In the few cases where that is true I would just use the built-in watch functionality of course. But it&#x27;s rarely been an issue for me.
