Watch about autoprefixer HOT 7 CLOSED

Option --watch is usefule for scripts, which compile files from one fir to another (like compass). But Autoprefixer by default rewrite current CSS file. So when you open app.css, edit it, press Cmd+S, file will be overriden and you text cursor will move to begining of the file.

I think, that we need some of output dir parameter for binary. Like: autoprefixer --watch --from css/ --to compiled/

By the way, become frontend, write CSS inside a project and process Sass, Autoprefixer on deploy :).

I use CSS preprocessor and I don't edit CSS directly.

So, what i your user case, maybe --watch is not a only way to solve your problem.

Yes, not only way, but it will be best way to extend my workaround. Now I depend on LiveReload's ability to run custom command after every compilation.

Watch must be in build tool, close
