If found the problem now. Watcher is not working, if there is no open Windows Explorer window of the watching directory. If you open a window of the watching direcotory, all works fine. Perhaps this helps you.

Hi! I also have some trouble auto uploading a compiled CSS file. I have an extension that compiles a css file based on my less file. But when the css file is generated (less file is saved) the less file is uploaded OK (if that's what you want...) but the css file does not get uploaded. IS this because the less file is generated and nog saved by the user?

Is there a way to auto upload the generated css file?

[jjnxpct]

I think I've got it working... In stead of the 'uploadOnSave' (now set to false) I used the watcher setting to watch for file changes. This seems to work. Great.

Hi! I think I now ran into the same issue Pfeifakopf had... I am starting out with VS code and set up a testing project to test some features / extensions like less compiling andSFTP upload. In my test project everythink works fine and the SFTP extension watches the CSS folder (with the compiled css form the less extension) and uploas it on change. Exactly as I wanted. Great.

So now I wanted to use this in an exsisiting project. But the wachted folder (css) did nt trigger the SFTP upload when a new css file was compiled. I did exactly what I did with my test project.

But then I realised there is a difference: The VSC project folder is on a shared folder (Window 10 / Synology NAS). And that somehow cuases issues with the watcher.

The I read Pfeiakopfs comments again and tried this: In windows, I openend an explorer window exactly on the folder where the wactcher was set to watch. And nog the css does get uploaded! As soon as I select a different folder in the windows explorer, it stopped working.

How weird is that ;-)

So I can get this to work, but I need to have a woindows explorer opened on the watched folder every time I want to use my project.

So my question is: Can this be somehow changed / fixed in the SFTP extension (or in a different way) so we don't have to open this explorer window every time we work on our projects?

[jjnxpct]

I stopped using the NAS shared folder for the local project because of this issue. I use the local HD now. This works fine.

@rafaelperozin Are you storing your local files on a shared drive? If so, that might be the issue. If not it's something else.

[rafaelperozin]

toring your local file son a shared drive. If so that might be the issue. If not it

@jjnxpct sorry, I'm setting a wrong remotePath.

Thanks, @Pfeifakopf, @liximomo, and @jjnxpct! These tips were helpful; I was able to resolve this same issue for myself.

What really seemed to solve the issue for me was to clear my cache. I use Cloudflare for all my sites (it's a great, freemium service). I set my Cloudflare to dev mode so I can see my code changes on a browser right away.

Hope this helps! Onelove.

Hey there, having the same problem on my Mac as well as on my Windows laptop.

Here's my config:

"watcher": {
  "files": "**/Resources/Public/Frontend/css/theme.min.css",
  "autoUpload": true,
  "uploadOnSave": true,
  "autoDelete": false
}

Any idea?

Edit: weird thing is that I'm using this extension for months and it suddenly stopped working..

[pearlboy]

This worked very well for me

"uploadOnSave": true,
"watcher": {
    "files": "**/*.{css,css.map,js}",
    "autoUpload": true,
    "autoDelete": true
},

[jslalriya]

pearlboy's recommendation worked for me!

[sumonst21]

for future reference if you came from google like me:

"watcher": {
"files": "**/css/*{.css,.map}",
}

I'm new to the SFTP extension and have configured it as recommended and then using pearlboy's suggestion. Neither seems to be working. It works great when going from the PC to the host but does not recognize anything created on the host. Open to suggestions...

well, setting up a watcher on the server isn't a task here.

@liximomo should close this issue

@JeffTeter This extension is deprecated. Use the SFTP extension instead. Maintained and updated version by @Natizyskunk 😀 (Forked from the no longer maintained liximomo's SFTP plugin)

[JeffTeter]

Thanks for the response. I thought I was on the right extension.

I still have a question... I have added the watcher section per issue 136. But, if I modify an item on the remote, the change does not appear in the local until I refresh. Is that the expected behavior?
