Hi, Downloaded version 3.0.38.19767 and as per the release notes I experienced some problems with TFS. Once the new version was installed and I tried to update a scss file it would crash VS. To solve it I deleted the css and min.css files and that seemed to solve the problem and I could get started again. After I checked in all my files (approximately 10 scss files in the same folder) back in and started at it again it seemed to have problems checking out the files that were included/imported in the file I was editing. This caused a few more crashes and at one point the css and min.css file lost its parent reference to the scss file (at least in the VS solution explorer) and I had to delete the css and min.css files again. I did lose some data that was not checked in, but I'd started taking backups of the scss files, so no work was lost. If I edit a couple of files (when they are all checked in) it seems to cause the most problems as I'm sure WWB tries find out which files it should check out and so I try not to do this too quickly. Maybe the problem has something to do with this... Hope this helps a little :) I know you guys are working hard at fixing these bugs and once WWB gets a little bit more stable and this issue is fixed, along with the auto-complete/intellisense, I think I would be more comfortable recommending this to my co-workers. It definitely makes writing css more enjoyable! |

Just happened again and this time I had checked out all my css files and had just changed some sass variable names and updated the files that were using them and right after it said it compiled successfully, VS crashed... When I opened the project again the css files had lost their parent reference to the scss file again. Are there any log files I can send you guys? |

We're not sure what's going on here -- we do have other customers using Web Workbench with TFS and it seems to be working okay for them. Could you try running Visual Studio with the /log option (devenv /log) and doing just enough to cause the crash please? Then send us the %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml file and we'll see if it sheds any light. Thanks! If that doesn't help we'll have to make you an updated build with some extra tracing -- we hope you'll be willing to persevere to help us figure out what's going on! |

I (and all of my colleagues) are suffering the same issue. Almost every scss save triggers a visual studio crash. Deleting the linked css file beforehand sometimes makes it work. Is there any way to return to 2.x temporarily? It's either gonna be that or switch to less because right now modifying css is close to impossible. FWIW, we're also using TFS, so there does seem to be something going wrong related to that. edit: I'll see if I can provide you a log file in a few minutes edit²: and of course, when I try to reproduce it it magically works. /clueless. |

I'm starting to think it has something to do with WWB properties in the csproj files that get merged with older settings on a checkout, causing conflicts of some kind, which makes it work again after a delete and reinclude. I'll keep an eye on it. |

I think the bug is in the deletion of the produced file. In my case its a CoffeeScript file, once I've saved X number of of times VS starts to crash on save of the file. To resolve I undo the checkout on the produced js file. Which unlocks me for a period of time. Seems like TFS has a limit of how many times you can delete/add a file before it flips out. Undoing the checkout resets that buffer. More Information: I am able to consistently reproduce this with syntax errors. For example if I get ahead of myself and hit CTRL+S before I complete a line, lets a ')'. I get a parser error and the JS file is deleted, I then correct the error and save, VS crashes. In order get out of this state I need to undo checkout on the JS file to restore it from the' deleted' state. Then do a checkout on the COFFEE file to re-checkout the JS. |

Thanks for the extra info. We're making some changes so that Web Workbench will no longer remove files on a compilation failure, but will instead leave the expected files (albeit with nothing in them). This should avoid us going through unnecessary checkout-delete-recreate cycles and hopefully avoid the need to manually intervene. |
