Frontools: `gulp watch` doesn't compile custom theme files

[klaas_werkt]

Hi,

I run into the issue that while running:

gulp watch

.. the files I added in my custom theme aren't being compiled. They are being watched, because the SASS lint is triggered, however my main files (styles.scss and print.scss) aren't being compiled - I also don't get the gulp message:

File /frontend/THEME/VIEW/styles/_some-file.scss changed.

.. that other files do trigger.

To work around this I edit a file that does trigger compilation (such as ) whenever I need to update the full styles, but this of course is not ideal. Am I doing something wrong, do I need to change some configuration or is this not supported?

1. Check if you use 1.5.2.
2. Did you installed fresh node.js dependencies?
3. Could you share your `themes.json`?

I just updated to 1.5.4 and ran :

npm install

.. to update the dependencies.

My themes.json configuration:

{
  "snow-blank": {
    "src": "vendor/snowdog/theme-blank-sass",
    "dest": "pub/static/frontend/Snowdog/blank",
    "locale": ["nl_NL"]
  },
  "klaas-default": {
    "src": "app/design/frontend/Klaas/default",
    "dest": "pub/static/frontend/Klaas/default",
    "locale": ["nl_NL"],
    "localeOverwrites": true,
    "parent": "snow-blank",
    "postcss": ["plugins.autoprefixer()"]
  }
}

I've copied `styles.scss` from snow-blank into my theme directory and added:

@import '_extend.scss';

.. to the bottom of the file.

If I run:

gulp clean
gulp inheritance
gulp watch

.. changes in `_extend.scss` are being linted but the `styles.css` doesn't get recompiled.

What's your OS? Are you using Docker / Vagrant?
