phpstorm - scss file watcher issue

Question

I am trying to setup phpstorm filewatcher in order to precompile my .scss, and I have the following error message :

"C:/Program Files/Ruby193/Ruby193/bin/compass.bat" --no-cache --update style.scss:style.css
'"ruby.exe"' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, 
    un programme executable ou un fichier de commandes.

Which translates in english to something like :

'"ruby.exe"' is not recognised as an internal or external command, 
    executable program or command file.

-I looked into this question, but it did not solve my problem : PhpStorm: SCSS File Watcher Settings

-Here is a screenshot of my settings. Php storm watcher settings

Thks.

"ruby.exe" cannot be found when compass.bat is launched from PhpStorm. 1) Try restarting your computer (so PATH variable will be properly updated) 2) Alter compass.bat and specify FULL PATH to ruby.exe — LazyOne

For the "program" path, I had already tried scss.bat and compass.bat and I had the same error message. To change it to ruby.exe does not seem to work (and I don't think it's a solution since I want to process .scss files, not launch ruby). I changed the image of the settings with scss.bat in the program path. — Gabriel Caron L'Écuyer

For the "environment variables", to change it to ".../bin/ruby.exe" instead of ".../bin/" did not solve the problem. Concerning the "PATH variable" you are talking about, which path variable are you talking about? thks. — Gabriel Caron L'Écuyer

What "PATH variable"? -- standard one: open console (cmd.exe) and type PATH and enter. Or via GUI -- My Computer | Right Click | Properties or the same via Control Panel | System. Then Advanced System Settings | Environment variables button — LazyOne

By "specify FULL PATH to ruby.exe" I meant not changing path in File Watcher .. but editing actual compass.bat file and providing full path to ruby.exe there. — LazyOne

I believe you have two problems. One is that Ruby is set up in a very improper fashion, you have Ruby193/Ruby193, which perhaps poses a problem. Another problem is that you've changed your environment variables. Keep it empty and see if it works, it works fine for me, so I guess if there is any problem, its with your Ruby setup.

Another potential problems is that your PATH might not be set up right to match with Ruby, so double-check your path.
