"liveSassCompile.settings.formats" showing warning for "savePath"

Original post

“liveSassCompile.settings.formats” shows a warning for “savePath” if the value of “savePath” is set to anything other than null. Showing same warning for “liveSassCompile.settings.excludeList” array values as well.

Shows the following warning in VS CODE warnings:

Must start with any of:
`/` or `\` (for workspace root)
`~/` or `~\` for relative to the file being processed. Must not end with a path separator (`/` or `\`)
Set the save location of exported CSS.

Set the relative path from Workspace Root.

'/' stands for your workspace root.

Example: /subfolder1/subfolder2. (NOTE: if folder does not exist, folder will be created as well)."

Here are my json settings:

"liveSassCompile.settings.formats": [
		{
			"format": "expanded",
			"extensionName": ".css",
			"savePath": "~/../css"
		}
	],
	"liveSassCompile.settings.excludeList": [
		"**/node_modules/**",
		".vscode/**"
	],

While the Sass still compiles to CSS with the above settings Vscode still shows a warning in “savePath” as well as “liveSassCompile.settings.excludeList” array values.

Tasks for 5.2 release

• Find cause
• Apply fix

So the issue was two-fold, Microsoft released an update that stopped trying to use incorrect regex - reference

I checked my regex and, apparently, it’s invalid somehow - even though it is valid in regex101. I needed to double double escape all of my \ characters to \\\\ instead of just \\

I will apply a fix and publish an update soon

Hmmm, strange. What OS do you have? Mine is Windows

Windows 10.

Very strange

Are you updating your package.json as dibakash did? Or just your settings.json file?

If it’s the latter then please revert your setting and use the version that I have zipped below
