10,703 PointsSass permissions error. I think. I have to use sudo to watch a directory and I don't like it, not one bit.
I'm a long time sass user but have been getting more comfortable my command line.
Normally, I'd just use CodeKit.
For actual work projects, it's more than enough and I wouldn't replace it for anything BUT.. I want a better understanding on everything happening in the background that CodeKit does that I take for granted.
I have a sandbox website that I use command line and other dev tools to try to do everything from step 1 and not have anything automated just for the purpose of learning. Everything was going fine until I wanted to watch my whole project. This is my error:
sass --watch .
Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.
error scss/style.scss (Line 2: File to import not found or unreadable:

I know the first error is just a Sass error and I need to properly link my Bourbon files, I'm not worried about that, it's the

That I don't understand. When I sudo sass --watch . it seems to work fine, that's just not a satisfying solution for me.
Any else run into this issue?

There are a couple things I'm not sure if you are checking/doing.
First, you need to change (in the console) to the root directory of where your project is.
Second, the command is sass --watch scss:css (The last two is the sass file being watched and the the css file being compiled to.
Please check out this Treehouse Video for a more detailed example.
I hope this helps! Keep Coding! :)

10,703 PointsI'm not sure what fixed my issue but I did some digging on other issues that were causing other headaches and by the time I got back to trying to figure out the Sass stuff it was working fine.

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsI'm glad you got it all working. Sometimes, though, the fix will remain a mystery. Lol. :)
