    2) select the option "Enable Auto Compilation on File Save"

    Select this check box to enable auto compilation of CSS preprocessors

    3) Set "CSS source and output Preferences"

    Specify the location of the CSS output file that is generated.

    "In the same folder as source"- Select this option if you want the generated CSS files to be saved in the same folder as the source Sass/SCSS and LESS files.

    "Define output folder" - Select this option and specify a folder where you want to save the generated CSS files.

    Hello, I have the same issue and this solution does not work for me. I've done all 5 steps but when I right-click on the scss-file and click on compile nothing happens, nothing appears in the output panel and no new css-document is created. Any ideas?

    I've read and reread the content of the detailed steps link several times but I didn't see anything that helped me troubleshoot this problem. Help would be appreciated.
