Jekyll serve Conversion error "No such file or directory"

Question

I have followed the installation instructions for Windows, using the "rouge" syntax highlighter.

I created new site with "jekyll new" and changed to that folder. However, when I attempt to run "bundle exec jekyll serve" I get following error, which I have Googled fruitlessly.

     Conversion error: Jekyll::Converters::Scss encountered an error while converting 'assets/main.scss':
     No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - ./.sass-cache/361b8f43efc4363cbd9a8a5cc41b098a7f33ed80/_syntax-highlighting.scssc20190809-21944-io0jgo

Have tried adding/removing following settings in _config.yml, changing their case etc...

highlighter: rouge
encoding: utf-8

Error does not occur when I use the [documentation theme for Jekyll](https://idratherbewriting.com/documentation-theme-jekyll/index.html) — Martin Morrey, Aug 09 '19 at 14:37
What's this file name? _syntax-highlighting.scssc20190809-21944-io0jgo — Christian, Aug 10 '19 at 23:37
Try deleting the `.sass-cache` directory entirely. It will reappear the next time you build / serve the site locally. — ashmaroli, Aug 11 '19 at 10:04
full filepath given in the error message is ` ./.sass-cache/361b8f43efc4363cbd9a8a5cc41b098a7f33ed80/_syntax-highlighting.scssc20190812-28712-nbibpj` — Martin Morrey, Aug 12 '19 at 09:58
Please try to run `jekyll clean` and `jekyll run`. I have tried to reproduce the behavior and was not able to do so. I am on windows 10, ruby 2.6.3, jekyll 4.0.0 and used the default theme without any issue. — Christian, Aug 27 '19 at 20:40
I have used that for another test: https://github.com/mdo/jekyll-example, the only thing I needed to change was `relative_permalinks: false` in the _config.yml in this example project no further issues. — Christian, Aug 27 '19 at 21:05

I have done some tests and I am not able to see this issue on Windows 10.

Follow the readme shown on the Minima Theme Github page to get this running. If the problem continues I'd suggest to raise an issue in the Issue page of the Minima theme repository on Github.
