Hi, I love Web Workbench but since the last update to 3.4.1837 I have a problem with scss: I have set a separate output folder for the generated files. However, now a .css and a .css.map file is always generated in the same folder as the scss files, no matter what values I set for "Produce .css file" or "Produce source map file" in the options. Other than our source control system complaining about the new files, the biggest annoyance is that Visual Studio now also always searches within the css files. What I need is just the css output to the specified output folder (which I haven't added to the VS project). It used to work before the last update. Thanks! Majnu |

Thanks for reporting this, we believe this has already been addressed in a subsequent nightly build - if you are able to update to a more recent nightly let us know if that resolves the issue. If you are using the free version then this fix will be included in the next gallery update.

Thanks great! I'm on the free version. When is the next gallery update due? |
|
|
|
|
We dont have any specific date for the next release however its likely to be in March or April depending on updates made to Sass/Less.

I just want to resurrect this as I have the same problem with the 3.4.1919 pro version. Do you have any advice as I am getting tired of deleting .map files and cleaning the reference from the end of the compiled css. |

You can disable the generation of the source map files under Tools/Options/Web Workbench, if you look under either the Sass or Less sections depending on what type of file you are working with you can toggle the "Produce source map file" to false. If you are using Compass you can toggle this off by adding the line sourcemap = false in your config.rb
|

I'm not sure you understood the problem. Those options ARE disabled and yet the .map files are still being generated. |
|
|
|
|
Are you using Compass, Sass or Less? If you can provide a sample project which we can use to reproduce this that would be useful.

Just Sass. Here's a dropbox link to just a standard MVC Razor web site that I've copied the site.css into sass. (also deleted images for a smaller zip file). https://www.dropbox.com/s/osc54ovj62mq3a8/WebSite1.zip?dl=0 What is the max file size I can upload here, 5mb seems to be too big? |

Thanks for the link to the project, unfortunately I am not seeing the same behaviour. By default there is no .map file being generated for me. If I turn on the Generate Source Map setting then the map file is generated, turning it back of prevents the map file from being generated. Just to check, these are the options you have set?

I have "Produce .css file" and "Produce .min.css file" both set to False and still every time these files are being generated. It is annoying that I need to remove them every time in order to avoid VS displaying search results within them. I'm on version 3.4.1837. Any chance that this will be fixed? Otherwise I love the extension. |

I also have this issue (VS2010, 3.4.1837 free) and it's really annoying! I don't understand this thread - the first reply recognises the issue and says it's been fixed in the nightly build, but when reraised you imply the issue doesn't exist. What's the status, will it be included in the next proper release, and when will that be? I'll update to pro the moment a it's verified that a fix is available. Thanks. Update: Sorry, it's VS2010 this happens on, which I'm stuck on for some projects. I've tried disabling all extensions, but still happens. My VS2013 is fine. |

The status is that we cannot reproduce the issue. Once we can reproduce this then we can look into a fix.

I'll record a video of it happening. It happens on every computer I've installed workbench on so this can't be that hard to duplicate. |
|
|
|
|
Thanks - unfortunately I don't suspect video wont really help unless there is something obvious wrong. Assuming its an underlying issue we will need to be able to reproduce this with a debugger session attached. Do you have any other extensions installed which would be common across all of those machines?

An update on this, Ive investigated this in VS2010 and was able to reproduce the problem. Im merging in a fix today that addresses this and this will be available in tomorrows nightly build.

I am happy that this issue is being addressed. I do have the issue in VS2013 so I hope that the fix will solve it there as well. Thanks, Majnu |

I am using VS 2015 with Web Workbench. The css.map file is still being generated even with the option set to false. Is this still an issue? |
|
|
|
|
Still an issue for me too. I have not been using this software because of it. |
