How to fix "no such file or directory, lstat 'scss/'"?

i'm trying to follow a simple tutorial on youtupe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYzHS-n2gqU&t=900s where he is tring to run an npm scripts "sass" file using the tirminal.
-When i execut the command npm run sass shows me an error message Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'scss/'

-I think the problem with the path of file or permissions on the file, where should configure in way to looks in the correct director.
- here is folder structure
-When i replace the script with :

"scripts": {
    **"sass": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" "**
  },

it work fine. ,but 

"scripts": {
    "sass": "node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css/ --recursive" 
  },

give me an error. package.json:

 {
  "name": "abrahem_portfolio",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "PortFolio",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    **"sass": "node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css/ --recursive"**

  },
  "author": "Abrahem Gh",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "node-sass": "^4.12.0"
  }
}

-As the tutorial point that the terminal should show this:

[email protected] sass C:\Users\Abrahim\Abrahem_portfolio node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css/ --recursive

-but it shows an error:

[email protected] sass C:\Users\Abrahim\Abrahem_portfolio node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css/ --recursive

fs.js:114
    throw err;
    ^

Its working after write full path

"sass": "node-sass --watch public/user/assets/scss/main.scss public/user/assets/css/style.css"

When looking at your folder structure you can spot that the 

"scripts": {
    "sass": "node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css/ --recursive" 
  },

command looks for a folder named scss but in your project structure you have a folder called sass This error can thus be solved by renaming the sass folder to scss.

The following solution would fix the problem:

"scripts": {
    "sass": "node-sass -w sass/ -o dist/css/ --recursive" 
  },
