Deleting a .scss file gives watcher.deleted is not a function

[webfaqtory]

Everything works fine until I delete a watched .scss file then I get

TypeError: watcher.deleted is not a function

In watcher.js there is no function called watcher.deleted but there is watcher.removed. Editing node-sass to call this instead gives 'Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory,'. Had to give up

Looks like we don't have any tests around the remove right now https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/master/test/watcher.js
I would have thought that removed would have been correct since that is the function in lib/watcher
@xzyfer thoughts?

I guess this is related to https://github.com/sass/node-sass/pull/2181/files

I'm new to using node-sass but I tried the watch option and got the exact same error as OP. The error appears on the first change, which was not deleting anything. Here is the full error I get (with the filepath removed).

...node-sass\bin\node-sass:266
    handler(watcher.deleted(file));
                    ^

I'm on Windows, and using 4.7.2 as well. Could be relevant, but I have other error warnings (not worth explaining unless you think it has to do with this error).

Getting the same error as @CaitlinWeb. What is the best way to fix ? Thanks.

node-sass       4.7.2   (Wrapper)       [JavaScript]
libsass         3.5.0.beta.2    (Sass Compiler) [C/C++]

This is fixed in 4.8.1. We've temporarily unpublished it due #2280. The fix is to wait until we 4.8.2 is released.

[kuzyo]

@xzyfer Thanks for the fast response. When do you plan to release 4.8.2 ?

[xzyfer]

When there is a resolution to #2280. You can subscribe to that issue for updates.

[CaitlinWeb]

After updating to 4.8.2 I haven't gotten the error yet. Seems to be fixed. Thanks!

Same in 4.8.3

fs.js:994
  binding.lstat(pathModule._makeLong(path), statValues);
          ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'path\to\test.scss'
