Dreamweaver CC 2017 not connecting SASS and Compass Files to CSS

HI

I have been using CSS in Dreamweaver for many years. Recently I was using Ruby & Compass on my Windows 10 computer with Dreamweaver 2015 to work with my scss file. I read that with Dreamweaver 2017 I could use the auto compiler in the help article. Using CSS preprocessors in Dreamweaver

I followed the steps for the Sass and compass in the site manager set up. However when I press the button under compass to install the file it tells me it will override the old files, but when I go to the folder nothing has happened. I have defined my source (sass folder) and output (css folder) for Sass, but the when I type into the .scss file it does not connect to change the css file.

Is there some step I am missing or doing wrong?

I am able to use the specify ruby based configuration setting as I have an old rb file and that connects the scss to the css. However the manual setting does not seem to do anything along with the install files button.

I need this information as I am doing some testing for some instructors at my college.

Thanks

I think I figured out now. The install button did not override my old files so that is why I did not see the change. I figured out that if I want to use the manual solution first I need to make sure the new folder is blank/empty and then click install files. Then go back and adjust the source and out put locations. So everything seems to be working as it should so far in my basic test.
