YUICompressor path issue

Question

I'm trying to minify some css automatically in WebStorm. I'm using YUICompressor. Here is my file watcher:

Here is the command it is outputting:

D:\projects\projectname>"C:\Program Files\JetBrains\WebStorm 2017.1.1\jre64/bin/java" -jar D:/projects/projectname/node_modules/yuicompressor/build/yuicompressor-2.4.8.jar "D:\projects\projectname\css\materialize.css" -o "D:\projects\projectname\css\materialize.min.cs s"

And here is the error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: projectsprojectnamecssmaterialize.min.css:\projects\projectname\css\materialize.css (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

For now I just used the Create output file from stdout option. It looks like this:

This results in the expected output, but I will leave this unanswered for now in case someone can explain why the path parameters are having the slashes stripped out.
