Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.

In the video, he's using the folder scss and not sass. In workspaces, check your folder names. Do you have a folder named scss or a folder named sass?

If it's scss you would use:

sass --watch scss:css

If you don't have either of these folders create one by going to New -> New Folder then naming it in the panel on the left hand side. You can name it to sass or scss and it'll function the same.

I am also having this problem, I typed in everything the same way in console (sass --watch scss:css) but getting this error:

Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop. error No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - scss

If anyone is still getting this error, you need to use the 'cd' command to change directories into the project folder ('lake-tahoe').

E.g.:

treehouse:~/workspace$ cd lake-tahoe

Now your path will appear as:

treehouse:~/workspace/lake-tahoe$

You will now be able to run 'sass --watch'
