File Watcher is giving error code 255 - Syntaxerror

I'm trying to get the IntelliJ / PhpStorm File Watcher to auto compile my SCSS via grunt.

Grunt itself seems to work fine, it works at least correctly if I call it via Terminal. But the File Watcher does not seems to like my configuration. Every time it gets triggered it gives me a Code 255 - Syntaxerror

I've tried multiple configuration for the File Watcher but none seems to work, what could be the error ?

Screenshot from the error, the file watcher config and the folder structure

Any Ideas what to put in here correctly for compiling the SCSS to CSS via grunt?

Und hier ist beiläufig noch die grunt.cmd, falls das hilft.

Solution

  • Nevermind, what a solution.

    I have no idea why but after reinstalling grunt, the shown grunt.cmd looks now completly differnt. I have no Idea why some kind of xml was hidden in there now it seems to work ...
