Error: File not found with singular glob: (if this was purposeful, use `allowEmpty` option)

I am trying to automate a task with watch, in gulp. I am a beginner at this.

This is code:

const { series, src, dest, watch } = require('gulp');
const sass = require('gulp-sass');

// Función que compila SASS

function css( ) {
    return src('src/scss/app.scss')
        .pipe( sass())
        .pipe( dest('./build/css') )
}

function minificarcss() {
    return src('src/scss/app.scss')
    .pipe( sass ({
        outputStyle: 'compressed'
    }))
    .pipe( dest('./build/css') )
}

function watchArchivos() {
    watch('src/scss/**/*.scss', css ); // * = La carpeta actual - ** = Todos los archivos con esa extensión
}

exports.css = css;
exports.minificarcss = minificarcss;
exports.watchArchivos = watchArchivos;

This is the error, I have no idea why it happens, all files are well written.

Error:

PS C:\Users\Usuario\Desktop\FestivalMusica_inicio> gulp watchArchivos
[07:47:10] Using gulpfile ~\Desktop\FestivalMusica_inicio\gulpfile.js
[07:47:10] Starting 'watchArchivos'...

[07:47:41] Error: File not found with singular glob: C:/Users/Usuario/Desktop/FestivalMusica_inicio/src/scss/app.scss (if this was purposeful, use `allowEmpty` option)

The path of the directories is well written:

Today I too stumble upon the same error message from gulp while trying my hands on SASS. I ask google for possible reason of error and solution but google couldn't suggest any that could solve this particular issue.

I double checked all my codes for any unintended omissions but find none that could explain the error as suggested by @Helder Gonzaga. But after a long trial and error was ultimately able to figure out that the error was due to long file path name (too deep directory structure) associated with the SASS source file in gulp src() function argument.

MY ERRO LOG (Error due to long file path or using brackets in naming - too deep directory structure)

Confirm that the file: 'C:/Users/Usuario/Desktop/FestivalMusica_inicio/src/scss/app.scss' is written correctly. Sometimes we forget something. This problem, that's it, the file does not exist.
