Import SCSS files from outside project structure

Ember CLI
1

I have an ember-cli app inside another non ember project directory. I’m trying to import a SCSS file from that non-ember project. I’ve tried to just @import '..path..'; directly in the app.scss file and that didnt work. Then I tried the following in my Brocfile:

/* global require, module */
var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
var compileSass = require('broccoli-sass');

var app = new EmberApp();

var sassImportPaths = [
  'app/styles',
  '../app/sass'
];

var appCss = compileSass(sassImportPaths, 'app.scss', '/assets/app.css');
var outsideMNCss = compileSass(sassImportPaths, 'outside.scss', '/assets/outside.css');

module.exports = app.toTree([appCss, outsideMNCss]);

In both cases I get the following type of error:

{
"status": 1,
"file": "/Users/jdillon/Documents/.../app/sass/outside.scss",
"line": 1,
"column": 9,
"message": "file to import not found or unreadable: compass/css3\nCurrent dir: /Users/jdillon/Documents/.../app/sass/"
} [string exception]

The path in both cases is accurate. Is there something preventing me from importing files outside of the project structure?

The plot thickens. I noticed this watchman error:

I ended up switching over to ember-cli-compass-compiler and things worked as expected without any Brocfile shenanigans. I just @import... it in my main scss file.

However I’m getting some errors before I start the server. One for watchman, the other I think for symlink-or-copy (at least thats where the stack trace terminates). The errors are reproduced below:

(FYI: I shortened some of the path names that would give away a bit about my client. From app on though its original)

The error when I start the server:

When I make a file change:

FYI: logging out of my account on my computer fixes the watchman issue. But the symlink issue still prevents live reloading or any features that accompany it.
