Where I can obtain the "stylus.bat"" for the File watchers of IntelliJ IDEA faminly IDEs?


According the IntelliJ IDEA documentation, the Stylus files watcher setup is:

  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog click File Watchers under Tools. The File Watchers page that opens shows the list of already configured File Watchers.
  2. Click the Add button or press Alt+Insert and choose the Stylus predefined template from the list.
  3. In the Program field, specify the path to the executable file:
  • stylus for macOS and Unix.
  • stylus.bat for Windows.

Type the path manually or click the Browse button and choose the file location in the dialog that opens.

The question is where I can get the stylus.bat. If I install the Stylus globally by npm, it will be installed to [Drive]>Users>[UserName]>AppData>Roaming>npm>node_modules>stylus for the Windows case:

But there is no stylus.bat. Inside bin directory, there is the file stylus without filename extension, but this one does not work.

Solution

  • A <drive>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\npm\stylus.cmd should do the thing
