'foundation watch' does not recognize new files

[cdymond]

When I create a new file, I have to end the process and restart it or foundation watch will throw this:

Starting 'sass'...
Error in plugin 'sass'
Message:
    src\assets\scss\components\_all.scss
Error: File to import not found or unreadable: preheader
       Parent style sheet: c:/xampp/htdocs/mailchimp/tradingpinsdirect/src/assets/scss/components/_all.scss
        on line 5 of src/assets/scss/components/_all.scss
>> @import 'preheader';

It seems that it refuses to recognize new files until the process is restarted. My current set up does not require restarting the process every time a file is created, so this is an unexpected behavior for me, but I'm just starting to dig into this so I may just be expecting a behavior that isn't possible.

@gakimball Is there a good way to add these files?

There may be more to this than I initially realized.

I'm getting a lot of this import not found or unreadable error, even with files and folders that were already there. It seems to be totally random. Sometimes it won't have any problem at all and sometimes it does. It is completely sporadic.

This could be an issue with gulp-sass itself, as I've found this issue, but the solution isn't super ideal, so I might start digging into that. My other option is to try to swap over to gulp-ruby-sass if that's possible, but I haven't even started looking.

Yes, ruby sass should work fine as well 3.4+

It does seem intermittent because most of the time it works but sometimes...

[gakimball]

Just to be sure, does the same thing happen if you run npm start instead of foundation watch?

(One is a wrapper command for the other, but just want to make sure it's not a CLI-specific issue.)

Sounds like im getting the same problem. I'm only new to foundation cli and sass and I just got my head around installing my first email project.
When I place new images in my assets/img folder they dont show on BrowserSync untill I restart my project in terminal?
Also making changes to my_settings.scss file like $body-line-height...etc sometimes wont update?

In fact I have the same on my ubuntu vagrant machine, but it works fine on OSX. Maybe it has to to with leveraging fsevent (which is OSX only).

I have the exact same issue on Windows 10 when running npm start or npm run build.

It happen's if i make changes to a scss file and hit save. It doesn't happen if I hit save without making changes to the scss file. So the temporary (and ugly) fix is to hit save two times every time I make a change..

Using latest version of foundation-emails-template and haven't changed or developed anything yet.

We're not able to replicate this on the latest version. Seems like it was fixed somewhere down the line in our previous updates. Going to close for now, feel free to reopen if we're still seeing issues!

Thanks!
