title: SCSS Lint plugin for PHPStorm triggers errors in gulp-compass task
body: <h2>The Setup:</h2>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Using scss-lint plugin for IntelliJ-based IDEs (PHPStorm)
  <a href="http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7530?pr=phpStorm" rel="nofollow">http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7530?pr=phpStorm</a></p></li>
  <li><p>A gulp-compass task, part of a larger Gulp build process, that watches my sass (scss) dir.
  <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-compass" rel="nofollow">https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-compass</a></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>NOTE:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>OS: Windows 8</li>
  <li>both tools work as expected.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <h2>The Situation:</h2>
  
  <p>With the scss-lint inspection active, any kind of typing activity in the editor (including simply typing a whitespace) triggers the gulp-compass task, and the terminal for said task returns <em>'file not found'</em> errors along the following line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[10:53:34] Starting 'dev-compass'...
  [10:53:34] Finished 'dev-compass' after 3.58 ms
  [10:53:36] File not found: E:/projects/xf/src/sass/blog_scsslint_tmp8349313806557714816.scss
  [10:53:36] 
  
  [10:53:36] { [Error: Compass failed]
    message: 'Compass failed',
    showStack: false,
    showProperties: true,
    plugin: 'gulp-compass',
    __safety: { toString: [Function] } }
  [BS] 1 file changed (blog.css)
  
  [10:53:46] Starting 'dev-compass'...
  [10:53:46] Finished 'dev-compass' after 15 ms
      write src/styles.group/blog.css
  
  [BS] 1 file changed (blog.css)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>Note: this 'error' doesn't prevent the task to perform; when I make actual changes to the .scss source files, the .css are generated properly.</em></p>
  
  <p>Apparently, either SCSS Lint itself and/or the PHPStorm plugin generate temporary files when the inspection occurs, and promptly removes them -- presumably when the inspection finishes.</p>
  
  <p>As it does so in the same directory that's being watched by the gulp-compass task... These two end up playing NYSMNYD (<em>now you see me, now you don't</em>).</p>
  
  <p>I was hoping I could either:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>set my SCSS Lint configuration file to force a different path for the temporary files, or,</p></li>
  <li><p>set my gulp-compass task to ignore files based on a pattern such as <code>*scsslint_tmp*.scss</code></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But so far, I haven't found any way to do either of these.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose it could be seen as just a 'cosmetic' error, since both tools do produce the desired outputs, but it results in unnecessary processing, and by filling my terminal with 'bogus' errors just make it more confusing to spot the genuine ones.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
