scss preprocessor only works after restart when reactivated

Report · Aug 21, 2025

When I use Dreamweaver on Mac OS 15 and want to compile SCSS files into CSS and .map files, it doesn't work, even though the function “Automatically compile files when saving and generate source map” is enabled.
I then have to disable the function, shut down Dreamweaver, restart it, and then re-enable the functions. This works until I close Dreamweaver again, and the CSS file and .map file are created.

To solve this, I completely removed all Adobe programs, completely deleted the computer, and reinstalled everything, but I still have the same problem after the reinstallation.
This problem occurs with the Mac and the M4 chip. I don't have this problem with my Mac with the M1 chip.

The problem was fixed with the update to Dreamweaver 21.6. So far, so good!

Now Apple's new operating system has been released: mcOS Tahoe 26.0, and now the same phenomenon is occurring. The CSS files are only created from the root SCSS file, not from the linked ones. I have now brought my old Mac with the M1 chip back out, and it works there, even though macOS 26.0 is also installed on it.

So if I am understanding your post correctly, your old Mac OS was 15.x and you updated to DW 21.6 and you resolved the issue. You then updated to OS 26 on that computer and it broke. But you moved it to a different Mac that is also on OS 26 and it is working fine. Is that correct?

If so, this sounds like Dreamweaver needs to be installed on your original Mac as something with the update may have caused an issue that is preventing one computer with OS 26 from working while the other is working just fine.
