Hi Rohit Kumar,

Setup Sass Automatically

$ ionic setup sass  
You can start to write your sass in your ./scss/ionic.app.scss file.  
Setup Sass Manually

1.Run npm install from the working directory of an Ionic project. This will install gulp.js and a few handy tasks, such as gulp-sass and gulp-minify-css.  
2.Remove from the of the root index.html file.  
3.Remove from the of the root index.html file.  
4.Add to the of the root index.html file.  
[5.In](http://5.In) the ionic.project file, add the JavaScript property “gulpStartupTasks”: [“sass”, “watch”] (this can also be customized to whatever gulp tasks you’d like).

Rohit,

I found the Solution: One of the .scss files in my /scss folder was causing Sass to stop compiling.

The “problematic” file was an old copy of the project’s main .scss file, but when I compared that old version with the latest version, I only see a handful of differences in terms of properties, values and a media query at the bottom of the code.

Other than that, both, the “problematic” and “correct/working” files are pretty much 98% exactly the same.

Read a more extensive answer in the project’s issues list in GitHub: ["Listen has fallen back to polling" and won't watch · Issue #362 · sass/sass · GitHub](https://github.com/nex3/sass/issues/362#issuecomment-11255429)

Let me know if it is works! 🙂
