can't upload on external save via SFTP

[andreaarcher]

Hello,
on my most recent install of FP my "monitor file: upload on external save" doesn't work in SFTP (sublime plugin). It used to be that when I saved a linked css file the main one would compile and upload automatically. Now on my new build that has stopped working. In my sublime directory I see foundation.css and foundation.css.map slide in and out which seems to suggest that they are being closed and reopened- this doesn't happen on any of my earlier installs. I think that the closing is stopping the monitoring so it's not being saved after compilation. Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Andi

so its because of the clean css and clean JS tasks.

gulp.task('clean:css', function() {
  return del([
      'assets/stylesheets/foundation.css',
      'assets/stylesheets/foundation.css.map'
    ]);
});

since the file is being deleted SFTP sees it as a new file and not an edited and currently monitored file.

I ended up using the gulp.watch task and gulp-sftp to reupload the file on create.

gulp.task('watch-scss', function() {
  sequence(['clean:css', 'sass'], 'sftp-css');
});

Perfect, that worked! Thanks

-I just have to remember to kill the current $npm run watch and start it again after I edit the file
