phpstorm - @import "compass" cannot resolve

I'm on Windows7, I've installed Compass and configured it correctly in my project folder.

I'm new to Scss and Compass but when I launch compass watch from CMD my style.scss gets automatically compiled and everything seems fine.

[ver. compass 1.0.1 // sass 3.4.3].

But when I open my style.scss from phpstorm @import "compass" comes up with an error cannot resolve import into sass/scss;

opening up phpstorm's compass support it looks like the default options are correct:

compass executable file: C:\Ruby200-64\bin\compass 
config path: is pointing to local server and is correct

this is my watcher setting:

file watcher setting

I've tried changing it but I can't get compass support to work....

Solution

  • Eventually the only way I found to get it working is creating a Symlink between my sass folder and my compass executable;

    I found an old answer on this that helped me...

    in detail:

    1.Open Cmd (as admin) and change dir to your sass folder in your project .

    2.From your sass-folder create a symlink with mklink /d compass C:\Ruby200-64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\compass-1.0.1\bin\compass .

    Now phpstorm works fine (with default filewatchers)_
