• hi there,
    i develop on a mac connecting to a remote server via sshfs. mac’s have a horrible tendency to create dot files (resource forks) that are hidden, but start with dot underscore (._). There used to be a way to prevent these files from being written on remote volumes, but that no longer seems to work on Mavericks up.

    The scss compiler is finding these dot files and trying to compile them, which leads to an error being logged and the files not updating.
    I’ve found the code in class-wp-scss.php (line 96) that does the searching for files and found it actively ignores files with underscores at the beginning. I’ve changed this on my local install to ignore files beginning with . instead, which works for me. Just wanted to let you know to incorporate it as a potential bug fix in the next version.

    cheers,
    mik
