Why won't PyCharm automatically refresh CSS output files when I am using an SCSS file watcher?

I have configured a PyCharm file watcher that transpiles SCSS (in a SCSS folder) into CSS (in a CSS folder). The CSS files appear to reflect the changes in the SCSS files only when I close and re-open the CSS folder dropdown. How can I make this process automated?

This is what I have in the arguments field: --no-cache --update $FileName$:$ProjectFileDir$/main/static/css/$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css

  1. console: gem install sass
  2. console: gem install scss
  3. console: gem install compass
  4. console: which scss <--get the path
  5. Pycharm: "Programm" set: path from 4. it could be /usr/local/bin/scss or usr/bin/scss
  6. Pycharm: "Arguments" set: --no-cache --update --force --sourcemap=none --compass $FileName$:$ProjectFileDir$/app-name/static/css/$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css ( be carefull using $Sourcepath variable as mentioned before, it can return depending on the project multiple path path1:path2:path3 and scss do nothing)
  7. Pycharm: "Output paths to refresh" set: $ProjectFileDir$/app-name/static/css/

For future reference: I've published a post here on how to configure the file watcher with SCSS.

The Output paths to refresh option is the directory that gets refreshed. It needs to match the output directory you specified in the arguments field $ProjectFileDir$/main/static/css/
