sass error: No such file or directory

Sass is throwing an error on multiple projects on both of my computers when I try to compile the scss files to css. I'm using dart-sass. I'm typing the command in the terminal from the root of the projects and the file path is correct. I've tried both

sass --watch src/styles/scss:src/styles/css

and also just

sass src/styles/scss:src/styles/css

but the results are the same:

Error reading src/styles/scss:src/styles/css: no such file or directory.

As such I can't compile any of my style files.

In the terminal, I had to make my way to the file location and then run the command. Example:

Project Structure:

src
   abc
      prq
         main.html
         main.scss

When I launch the terminal, it defaults to src folder

PS C:\Users\src> sass --watch main.scss:main.css

Running command here will throw error:

Error reading main.scss: no such file or directory.

Now, browsing to prq directory & running command, will be successful.

PS C:\Users\src\abc\pqr> sass --watch main.scss:main.css

Compiled main.scss to main.css.
Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.

Okay, I figured out a solution if anyone else runs into this problem. You should uninstall dart sass from your computer(prefix this command with sudo if using mac):

npm uninstall sass -g

Then, install a stable version of ruby sass:

gem install sass

Now you should be able to run sass --watch src/styles/scss:src/styles/css and it will compile.

Note: If you were to do npm install sass that would install the latest version written in dart, which is what seems to have caused my problems.

filename is required to select directory

Try this sass --watch src/styles/scss/fileName.scss:src/styles/css
