Autoupdate Problem with Parent Theme

[JulianSteinmann]

I tried to import the scss file of the parent theme. This worked with the code below. But now it does not re-compile when files (in the parent theme) are changed.

@import '../../parent-theme/sass/style';

When deleting this import line – save the file – and reinserting it. It compiles fine.

Any idea why this is or how this could be fixed?

Thanks a lot for your help

I have the same issue. I think it would be great if this could be generalized in some universal way.
In my use case I have a parent and child theme that both use SCSS and I'm relying on WP-SCSS for compiling the SCSS (the child theme imports the main file from the parent theme). I think this is brilliant for theme development, so thanks for the plugin! ❤️

I assume that WP-SCSS only looks for changes in the SCSS directory specified in the settings and thus isn't able to detect changes to the parent files, because they're chilling in a different directory from what the plugin is watching.

@richrd that's precisely correct.
I welcome any Ideas on how to implement either:

• multiple SCSS directories
• checking parent imports
