Unable to rebuild sass

Problem description

When I use the code you provided in README.md with autoprefixer and postcss removed simplifying my testing it fails. Here is the simplified code:

var fs = require('fs');
var sass = require('node-sass');
var Watcher = require('node-sass-watcher');

// Input variables
var inputFile = process.argv[2];
var outputFile = process.argv[3];

// Options
var watcherOptions = {
  verbosity: 3,
}

// Renderer
function render() {
  console.warn('Rendering "' + inputFile + '" file...');

  sass.render({file: inputFile}, function(err, result) {
    if (err) {
      console.error('Error: ' + err.message);
      return;
    }

    console.warn('Outputting to "' + outputFile + '" file...');
    fs.writeFile(outputFile, result.css);
  });
}

// Start watching
var watcher = new Watcher(inputFile, watcherOptions);
watcher.on('init', render);
watcher.on('update', render);
watcher.run();

I first tried it in my app which works great when I use chokidar/fs.watchFile on a single scss file and then do sass.render() but hangs when the 'update' event is called (it starts, ends at console.warn before sass.render()). When I first launch the node app the 'init' event triggers and rebuild finishes without a problem.

Technical specification

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
node versions tested: 6.4.0, 8.11.2, 8.11.3
node-sass versions tested: 4.7.2, 4.9.2
node-sass-watcher version: 0.5.1

Simpler example (node@8.11.3, node-sass@4.9.2, node-sass-watcher@0.5.1)

const sassWatcher = new Watcher('/css/profile.scss', { verbosity: 1})
sassWatcher.on('update', () => console.log('A change was triggered!')
sassWatcher.run()

File profile.scss is rather big - contains many imports that contain another levels of imports. With verbosity: 1 the script logs all the watched files correctly from what I can tell. However editing /css/profile.scss triggeres a change inconsistently - not always and even when it does it takes a long time (1-6 seconds).
