How to change slashes direction in External tool macros

Hello, i'm trying to use external tools to compile SASS into CSS, and i want SASS to watch my project directory.

If I want this to work fine i need forward slashes in my path parameters, but macros allows me to insert only backslasehs.

So, is there any way to change slashes direction?

Thanks.

Hi Timofey,

 

I assume you are using windows and set parameters to "--watch $ProjectFileDir$\sass:$ProjectFileDir$\compiled". You should set working directory to $ProjectFileDir$(see screenshot).

 

FYI the latest EAP WebStorm 6 build includes new feauter called Background Tasks. WebStorm will suggest you adding predefined task for SASS files that compiles *.sass files into *.css on changes. You can check how it works for TypeScript in this post.

What did you choose? An external tool or background task?

An External tool.

I watched video about backgorund tasks and they are great, but I've decided to wait for final release of PhpStorm
