Sass issue when i use the --watch parameter

Question

When i execute the line

$sass --watch sass/views.scss:views.css

i get the following message

Answer 1

I had the same issue. You just need to run the command in sudo mode.

sudo sass --watch sass/views.scss:views.css

Answer 2

I tried these answers and none worked, so i did some more research. Apparently, the problem is with the listen gem that SASS is using. Sass is only compatible with listen 0.7.

I was able to get it working by running the following two commands (as root):

gem uninstall listen
gem install listen -v 0.7.3

Answer 3

I fixed it by uninstalling the original sass I had installed using apt-get (ruby-sass) and reinstalled using gem

Answer 4

Well i fix my problem updating the sass gem to the latest version (3.2.9). I think that this update provide better compatibility with Ruby 2.0.0 when using he --watch parameter. Everything works great now.
