Node-sass: Output to file not directory > file

[NathanKleekamp]

When running this node-sass --output-style compressed style.scss style.css via npm scripts, I receive the following error: Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory.

If I run with the -o flag, like so: node-sass --output-style compressed style.scss -o style.css, it generates the following:

style.scss
style.css
└── style.css

Is there anyway to just generate the style.css file within the same directory as the style.scss file? Or am I going to have to move things around in a post hook?

Node sass outputs the compiled CSS to stdout. If you want to write to a
file you'll need to pipe the out.

node-sass input.scss > input.css

Yup, I saw that node-sass outputs to stdout in the documentation, but when I try:

"scripts": {
    "scss": "node-sass --output-style compressed style.scss > style.css"
}

or even a more simplified version:

"scripts": {
    "scss": "node-sass style.scss > style.css"
}

It errors out, and I get:

> node-sass style.scss > style.css
sh: style.css: Is a directory

I'm using node-sass 3.4.2 and node 4.2.1. Thanks for your help!

Never mind. I had a style.css directory hanging around the directory from when I was experimenting with the-o flag. Sorry for the confusion. I just noticed it after un-hiding untracked files in Atom -Nathan

That's because you previously created a directory call style.css with the
previous command. Remove that directory and you're set.
