Sass --watch does not detect @use file changes

[crystalfp]

My main.scss file contains: @use "../widgets/widget.scss";
and is compiled with sass --style=compressed --watch --color main.scss main.min.css

If I modify main.scss the compiler compiles it.

But if I modify ../widgets/widget.scss nothing happens.

Same problem if I change @use to @import. What am I missing?

sass 1.26.3 on Windows 10 64 bits.

Small example (change extension to .zip) bug-sass.txt

It's not an issue

You didn't tell 'watcher' to watch you widget.scss. 'Watcher' don't watch imports or modules if you don't tell him.

First, you should rename you widget.scss to _widget.scss to prevent compilation (read here about partials)

Second, you should pass the file to command
sass --style=compressed --watch --color main.scss:main.min.css ../widgets/_widget.scss

Thanks! I will implement your suggestion.
Simply I was convinced that sass compiler could extract the composition tree by following the @use and @include chain.
