How can I regenerate styles.css in Vaadin 8

After modifying styles.scss, Vaadin 8 does not recreate styles.css. If I completely remove style.css, the application does not create this file and I get a 404 error in the browser.

The application does not run in production mode and I am using a theme. According to the documentation, this file should be created:

If the on-the-fly compilation does not seem to work, ensure that your build script 
has not generated a pre-compiled CSS file. If a styles.css file is found by the 
servlet, the compilation is skipped. Disable theme compilation in your local 
development environment and delete the existing styles.css file to enable on-the-fly 
compilation.

Can, please, abybody tell me how to force Vaadin to create styles.css ?

You can use the Maven goal mvn vaadin:compile-theme from the vaadin-maven-plugin to force the compilation of the styles CSS file. This is not something you usually want to do in development mode, as you'd want to have the on-the-fly theme compilation to do that for you. Quite often, the underlying problem is that a theme scss file contains a syntax error which prevents the compilation from succeeding.
