When the sass files are not within the web-root they are not being compiled. This is an error as the sass-files do not have to be accessible for the end-user/web-user. The Directory strucuture: /sass - Sass Files /web - web-root /web/css - CSS-Files Project Settings: Web root: web Sass input: /sass, Sass output: /web/css Log Message: INFO [org.netbeans.modules.css.prep.process.BaseProcessor]: Not compiling, file V:\Project\sass\global.scss not underneath web root of project V:\Project
Thank you for reporting. I've tried to set the mapping like "../sass" -> /css (afaik path must be site root relative) but it didn't work either and log says INFO [CPOnSaveHook]: processSavedFile called for Sass type on project /home/vriha/NetBeansProjects/HTML5Application36.

Adding Tomas to cc as it seems to be issue with Sass/less compilers
I have the same issue as want to use compass with sass and a custom config.rb. It looks like sass is run from the webroot and not from the project root.

I mention this because if you want your config.rb to be in the project root instead of the webroot you can't as it won't be found by sass. It would be nice if you could specify what directory the sass command runs from. That would allow directory structures where the sass source does not reside in the webroot.

Would it make sense to allow to select any project directory or just: webroot and project directory? Thanks.

I believe limiting it to any folder within and including the project folder would be best, as others could have some other way they layout their project where they do no like cluttering the root folder with configs. It would be bad practice to allow it on any directory on the file system as when sharing the project the folder may not exist.
Sorry, I was too fast, this is definitely not a minor change. CSS preprocessors are designed to work in web root so this represents quite a lot of changes. In any case, this is not a defect but an enhancement. Thanks for reporting.
I can see that it is not easy to fix, but that makes it no less of a bug. It is really not required to have sass files in your web dir and all the default sass tools (command line and compass) are totally unaware of the fact whether it is running within a web dir or not (how should they know). It is quite annoying that my colleague with another IDE is able to compile SASS files and I have to start compass every time I start developing. Any directory within the project directory should be selectable for input and output.
Well, in fact, since this functionality works as designed, it cannot be a defect. But I understand that it is annoying so I will try to have a look at it. The ugly solution could be to allow "../" for mapping - not nice but should work ;) Thanks.
So, should be done I hope. Please note that this is "unofficial" feature so use it on your own risk :) Simply add e.g. this mapping: ../scss -> /css All the mapping paths are still resolved to the web root directory so there should not be any regressions (web root remains working directory as well). Láďo, also please test scenarios like deleting scss/less file, renaming it etc. Thanks. http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/b4a8554593f8
It doesn't work for me, I'll attach my project for reference: - mapping is ../pokus -> /css - once I save file ../pokus/soubor.scss, css is not created

The reason is simple - HTML5 project does not listen on project directory but only on site root. I am not going to change/fix this, there should be complications. Moreover, in the Projects view, only Site Root is visible so it will not be a common case to have directories outside of these folder and access them via Files view I hope... However, it should work without any project in the PHP projects. Thanks.
Thanks, I agree. Tested in PHP project and it works fine, when manipulating with source scss file, target css is e.g. moved/renamed etc. accordingly, mapping works in both web root and outside of web root.

Normally I would agree that you don’t need another folder. But in my case I am not using a PHP/Web Project in Netbeans. I am using a Java Spring Web Application and in this case you cannot preprocess SASS/LESS in Netbeans because there is not web.root.

Created attachment 154440 [details] Java Maven Application and Sass file When I add a .scss file to my project and save it, Netbeans asks if it should enable auto Sass Preprocessing, when I accept this it makes a nb-configuration.xml in which the Sass config is saved. I changed this config to show that alternative paths does not work either.
(In reply to apokarlypse from comment #19) > Created attachment 154440 [details] > Java Maven Application and Sass file Your project is Java SE project but you need to create Web project (New Project > Maven > Web Application).
That is not a solution if i NEED a Java Application. For example: Spring Boot needs a Java Maven Project and has all its sources in the resources directory. This is not the only Framework that works like that..
(In reply to apokarlypse from comment #21) > That is not a solution if i NEED a Java Application. In such case, feel free to submit an enhancement. Thanks.
I also can't seem to get SASS CSS Preprocessors to work. Works when I make a PHP Project, but not on an HTML5 project. Sorry, but I'd rather not have my users view my SCSS files, or add complexity by adding to my grunt and setting up a watch to convert CSS files. If you refuse to change it, why don't you at least add an 'onsave->grunt' action?
(In reply to CyRaid from comment #23) > If you refuse to change it, why > don't you at least add an 'onsave->grunt' action? Good idea, reported as issue #254632. Thanks for reporting.
