unable to add the Compass generated into VS2013

I am quite new to Workbench. I create a new blank Solution in VS2013. Then "add existing website" (for now an empty folder). Then do a "setup compass projet" on the empy web site. I got these 3 error:

Warning: Web Workbench was unable to add the Compass generated config.rb into your project, you may need to add this manually. Warning: Web Workbench was unable to add the Compass generated stylesheets folder into your project, you may need to add this manually. Warning: Web Workbench was unable to add the Compass generated sass folder into your project, you may need to add this manually.

I look into the workbench option and see the ruby path was not set. then I add it: C:\Ruby200-x64\bin But same problem.

Any suggestion? Thanks a lot

Finally i fall back to create all the file manually and do a compass Watch outside VS2013. My CSS file are created correclyt in the output folder. But a CSS with an error is created in the SASS folder:

/* System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Le fichier spécifié est introuvable
   at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
   at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()

   at Mindscape.VisualSass.Integration.Compilation.CompilerWithMinification.Compile(String text, String sourceFilePath, String rootPath, IEnumerable`1 additionalPaths, ICompilationSettings settings, ICompilerContext context, CompilationResult result) */

Any suggestion? I think I can work with this error, but the pollute my SASS folder.

If you are creating the files manually then turn off Sass compilation under Tools/Options/Web Workbench. In terms of the error you are seeing above, this is coming from WW not being able to locate the underlying compiler tools which are extracted to a temp folder under C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\Mindscape\Web Workbench (assuming C:\Users is your user root path). If you try deleting that folder does that resolve the problem? (This triggers a re-extraction of the tooling).

I delete the folder and make a change on a SASS file. Same error come back. With compilation disable, the problem disapear.

Du you support VS2013 and "web site only (html5/js)" projet? I delete the ruby 2.0 to fall back to ruby 1.9 like suggested on their web site because i got some problem with COMPASS. But I never get working your "set compass site". I will mush like to use your solution directly in the VS2013...

Yes, this is supported. Ive added an update which will be available in the next nightly build and gallery update which should help resolve the Compass setup issue if your web site is using IIS Express (and therefore has a http based location for the project).

Let us know if this is still an issue after you are able to update.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue with the latest version of the extension for VS2013. I've tried deleting the folder like you mentioned but even though the folder was re-created, the error still persisted. I had to uninstall and reinstall the extension for the compilation to work.

Still, the config.rb and associated folders were not created. I don't have a problem creating the config.rb file and the folders, but it looks like the watch on the folders is not working, or the config.rb file is ignored as my settings are not being picked up.

Do you have any ideas of what I might need to look at?

Thanks, Alex

What type of project are you working with and what is the error you are seeing in the output window?
