What is the current behavior?

gulp watch crashes when doing minor CSS changes in a completely random fashion: a particular CSS change works one time (browser automatically refreshes, change shows up, gulp watch still running without error), then another time the exact same change makes gulp watch crash with the following error:

[03:53:21] Starting 'styles'...
assets\styles\main.scss
Error: File to import not found or unreadable: partials/home_page
       Parent style sheet: D:/EasyPHP/www/pot/wp-content/themes/pot/assets/styles/main.scss
        on line 4 of assets/styles/main.scss
>> @import "partials/home_page";
   ^
[03:53:21] Finished 'styles' after 7.96 ms

What is the expected or desired behavior?

Expected behavior: gulp watch shouldn't crash
