How to set up a watcher for Webstorm?

Question

Command line

You need to merge all .coffee files in the folder into one .js file. The site says about the --join argument, the console swears that it is outdated and will be removed soon. They propose such a construction
cat *.coffee | coffee --compile > file.js
. The problem is that the caretaker accepts only arguments for the program.

Is it possible to dodge somehow? Not such a clever move. Or will you have to run gulp? It would be desirable through native function.

Answer 1

As a very rough option, create a bat-nick that will call coffeee.cmd with the necessary parameters, and redirect the output to $FileDirName, which you pass to it from the watcher. Of course, the option is not very good, and it is better to start Gulp, but nothing else comes to mind
