I have the following SASS file watcher configuration:

PHPStorm SASS file watcher configuration

My goal is to enable auto-synchronization of .SASS & .CSS with the chrome dev-tools, as explained here.

However, I noticed that the file watcher is active & recompile's the .SASS files only when the PHPStorm window is in focus.

Is there a way to still make it work while in the background?

Thanks!

  • No .. because IDE does not look for file updates/modifications then -- it only happens manually (when using "Synchronize" button) or when you enter/leave IDE window (there are more such "sync points" but they are rather internal (triggered by internal events when you are inside IDE window -- e.g. switching to internal Terminal, Executing script etc). – LazyOne Jul 14 '15 at 12:08
  • I guess using Gulp/Grunt watcher is what you need here. – LazyOne Jul 14 '15 at 12:09
  • Not sure if modern PHPStorm versions solves the issue, but a task manager is definitely the way to go here. – losnir May 29 '18 at 11:30
