Encountering issues while attempting to execute node-sass using npm

Currently, I'm attempting to execute node-sass using npm.

Displayed below is my package.json:

 {
  "name": "my-project",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Website",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "sass": "node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css/ --recursive"
  },
  "author": "Me",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {}
}

The installation process goes smoothly, but upon attempting to run the command "npm run sass", an error message appears:

"An output directory must be specified when compiling a directory"

My current folder structure: package.json package-lock.json scss (directory) dist (directory) > css (directory) node_modules (directory)

In the past, this script worked flawlessly on other projects, however, it's currently not functioning as expected. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Answer №1

After troubleshooting, I managed to resolve the issue by making a modification to the script:

"sass": "node-sass -w scss/ -o dist/css"

This adjustment successfully addressed the problem. Re-adding --recursive restored everything to its intended functionality (using the same script as mentioned in the original inquiry). While unsure of the exact misstep, I am grateful that the issue has been rectified.
