Since less doesn't include a --watch option, and the only options I found was with ruby watchr+shell scripting I modified this Powershell script that continuously watch for file changes in a directory, and compiles less file
# watch a file changes in the current directory, | |
# compiles bootstrap.less | |
$watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher | |
$watcher.Path = get-location | |
$watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $true | |
$watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $false | |
$watcher.NotifyFilter = [System.IO.NotifyFilters]::LastWrite -bor [System.IO.NotifyFilters]::FileName | |
while($TRUE){ | |
$result = $watcher.WaitForChanged([System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes]::Changed -bor [System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes]::Renamed -bOr [System.IO.WatcherChangeTypes]::Created, 1000); | |
if($result.TimedOut){ | |
continue; | |
} | |
write-host "Change in " + $result.Name | |
lessc --compress bootstrap.less > ..\..\public\bootstrap\css\bootstrap.min.css | |
} |
