How to setup Filewatcher with node-sass?
I have windows (8) and do not want to deal with ruby. So I installed node.js and node-sass (There do seem to be more packages that can compile scss files to css, but this seems to be the primary one?).
When I setup a filewatcher, nothing happens. I have other filewatchers setup (LESS, YUIcompressor, etc.) they work fine.
Can someone tell me what could be wrong? node-sass is not very well documented for use on windows. Or perhaps I should use another package?

Bumping this thread. Specifically, setting up using Windows? It doesn't appear that node-sass has a valid executable for IntelliJ to use. Are there are ideas on how to get it workin?
Hello!
here is a simple configuration that works for me:
Program: <full path to your node-sass executable>, like ‘C:\Users\Elena.Pogorelova\AppData\Roaming\npm\node-sass.cmd’
Arguments: $FileName$ $FileNameWithoutExtension$.css
Working directory: $FileDir$
Output Paths: $FileNameWithoutExtension$.css
See the attached screenshot
Best regards,

This works!
Thanks!
Is this executable approach better than using something like gulp?
Or would a task runner the more cumbersome to maintain and executing a single watcher.
Either way thank you for providing this solution.
