Constantly recompile index.scss, when imported files change

I want to only compile one file (index.scss), and include other sass files from other folders, so I configured my includePath like:

"dartsass.includePath": [
  "mypath\index.scss"
]

However, if I modify files that are used in index.scss like ...

@use '../../components/landingpage';

...my changes arent compiled because index.scss doesnt change. It would be great if this option could be implemented.

I also had the same issue, but when I followed the instructions on installing the "Binary Sass Watcher" from the alert box to watch the folders, it solved that issue.

So like it has been mentioned in the earlier comment above , the "watcher" functionality sort of automatically recompiles in case of any changes of any file in a given directory ( even recursively ).

For that to work, we need to set sassBinPath property and install sass manually on the system and point to the same.

Let me know if that helps the case.
