PhpStorm File Watcher change output

I'm trying to output the compiled CSS to a different directory.

/project/scss/ to /project/css/

I've tried this, but get the error below:

enter image description here Error: error No such file or directory - /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/project/public/css/style.scss

What are the Arguments and Output paths to refresh exactly for?

I got it working now with the following settings: enter image description here

The only difference now is the Output paths to refresh field. It's the default now.

$FileParentDir$ contains the path of the parent SCSS file. So in our case it will be /project/scss. In order to make it work like you need, it is necessary to use $ProjectFileDir$ variable or (if you insist to use $FileParentDir$) $FileParentDir$/../ so it would go to an upper level directory. If you will open any file in Editor and then go to Preferences | Tools | File Watchers > edit your file watcher settings > press Insert Macro button, you will see the list of all the variables with previews for currently opened file so you can see the values and build the arguments accordingly. Note that Output paths to refresh also should be modified according to the Arguments path.
