  gulp.watch([
            


        

Answer 1

The above examples didn't work for me. The following did though:

var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var liveReload = require('gulp-livereload');
var gutil = require('gulp-util');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var compass = require('gulp-compass');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var minifycss = require('gulp-minify-css');
var notify = require('gulp-notify');

gulp.task('styles', function () {
    //only process main.scss which imports all other required styles - including vendor files.
    return gulp.src('./assets/scss/main.scss')
            .pipe(plumber(function (error) {
                gutil.log(error.message);
                this.emit('end');
            }))
            .pipe(compass({
                config_file: './config.rb',
                css: './css'
                , sass: './assets/scss'
            }))
            //minify files
            .pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
            .pipe(minifycss())

            //output
            .pipe(gulp.dest('./css'))
            .pipe(notify({message: 'Styles task complete'}));
});

gulp.task('watch', function () {
    liveReload.listen();
    gulp.watch('assets/scss/**/*.scss', ['styles']);
});
