Hey folks, I have a problem. I'm trying to run a node-sass --watch but my main.scss has many imports such as:
node-sass --importer node_modules/node-sass-glob-importer/dist/cli.js --output-style compressed -o $npm_package_config_public/css $npm_package_config_source/css

My main.scss :

// Variables
@import "variables";

// Base-theme overrides.
@import "overrides";

// Global definitions
@import "global/**/*";

And the problem here is, that when I wanna change something related to variables or overrides files. Node-sass didn't build the style. but if I add code to my main.scss yes...

PD: variables and overrides are named as _overrides.scss and _variables.scss

I'd like help from your side because I tried to search for this problem in this repository without luck.

1. node-sass --importer node_modules/node-sass-glob-importer/dist/cli.js --output-style compressed -o $npm_package_config_public/css $npm_package_config_source/css2 does not watch. What is your invocation with --watch ?

2. Is it possible to reproduce this problem without --importer node_modules/node-sass-glob-importer/dist/cli.js ? node-sass command line watcher has no idea where the files imported by the custom importer come from.

I have the same issue with node-sass. In my style directory I'm using a global.sass file that is only a list of @import of other files in the same directory. Modifying one of these imported files does nothing when watching global.sass.
@saper is impossible to extend the watching to imported files when watching a global/index/main/younameit file with imports? Is it going to be the same in v5? I made the same comment in a similar node-sass-chokidar issue, so it looks like the cause is on the node-sass side 😉
