How to trigger LESS/SASS compiler manually in Netbeans

Question

In Netbeans 7.4 you can configure LESS or SASS compilers. You can check the option to Compile on Save. That works great. But how can I trigger this action manually from Netbeans? I deleted the destination folder and want to recompile everything but I can't find how.

Answer 1

I believe it is not possible. But perhaps you could try to open project properties (right click on project) and in css preprocessors setting (see here) try one of following:

• uncheck the "Compile on Save" option, confirm dialog and the open project properties again and check this option back. It could trigger recompilation
• if the above won't help, try to remove all settings in the "Watch", confirm dialog and then enter your setting in the Watch section again
