WebStorm File Watcher is not working, access denied


When trying to compile a project, the File Watcher breaks down to compile .sass files into .css via WebStorm. The error message looks like this:

The watcher has been disabled. Error: Cannot run program "/home/admin/.nvm/versions/node/v16.17.1/lib/node_modules/sass" (in directory "/home/admin/WebstormProjects/test-project/css"): error=13, Permission denied

I have already granted privileges to folders (for example, read-write-execute), but this did not help me figure out the problem. Thank you in advance for your help!

BTW, sass is installed globally.


Solution

  • Fixed this by specifying the path to sass.js file instead of the sass directory in FileWatcher.
