Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_101

Reproducibility: Happens every time

STEPS:
  * Configure CSS Preprocessors in Project Properties
  * Edit a SCSS file, saving it.

  CSS files are created or updated in the appropriate folders

I don't know why, but I needed to close Netbeans and edit my `project.properties` file to change `web.root=public` to `web.root=.`

I have no idea why that setting either would have changed itself recently or would be interpreted by the system differently.

The way I figured out that this particular setting would fix this bug is:

I copied my entire folder of code to a new folder, "code2".

Then I created a fresh new Netbeans project pointing to that folder and configured the CSS Preprocessor.  It worked well, just like it always had!

So then I used Beyond Compare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Compare) to check for differences in the project files. That's how I discovered the `web.root` difference.

I'll leave this bug open in case it shines a light on a real problem in Netbeans.

This behavior was really weird.

It's not a bug. I had the same problem. Some time ago I've changed Web Root setting on Source panel. Today I figure out that scss compiling stops working. After some googling I've found your comment, and I remembered, that previous change.
After correcting path do scss folders, that they are relative to Web Root folder now, everything works perfect.
