Error when saving vanilla JavaScript

I have Mindscape Web Workbench 3.1.140.20147 installed.

I am editing a website by connecting to my local installation of IIS.

The website contains various JavaScript files. Just plain old JavaScript files, no CoffeeScript anywhere to be found. I want to edit these files.

When I save such a file, I encounter unusual behavior:

1. The file saves normally; my changes are written to the disk and the "file modified" asterisk on the file's tab disappears.

2. I am immediately prompted for a location to which I want to save the file. The current location of the file is pre-populated.

3. If I say OK to save the file into the current location, I am prompted: "Filename.js already exists. Do you want to replace it?"

4. If I say Yes, I receive an error message: "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."

5. If I give a NEW location to save the file, I receive the same error message: "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."

6. If I cancel out of the "File Save" dialog, I find that my file is already saved (see step one; it saves correctly before the "File Save" dialog even opens).

If I uninstall or disable Mindscape Web Workbench, this behavior goes away, and I am able to save normally without being prompted for a new location to save my files to.

Hello Chris,

This might be related to the issue reported in http://www.mindscapehq.com/forums/thread/306595. Could you try installing http://assets.mindscape.co.nz/Mindscape.WebWorkbench.Integration.10.vsix and let us know if it resolves the problem? Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply!

I have installed the indicated file, and it does indeed resolve the problem.

Two error messages appeared when I first started Visual Studio after installing http://assets.mindscape.co.nz/Mindscape.WebWorkbench.Integration.10.vsix. I closed and restarted Visual Studio and I did not receive the error messages a second time, so all appears to be well. The error messages do not appear to be related to WebWorkbench, but it is curious that they appeared immediately after installing a new version of the WebWorkbench extension. Here are the error messages:

As it turns out, I actually do normally run Visual Studio with the /log parameter. Therefore, I have saved the activity log for the session that caused the errors. Again, I'm not convinced that Web Workbench is actually the culprit for these, and since they went away on their own, perhaps they are not worth chasing down. Still, perhaps you might find it useful.

I think those messages may be down to VS resetting some internal package load behaviour after installing a new package. This pair of failures seems to come up quite a lot (e.g. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/626093/radlangsvc-package-did-not-load-correctly and http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/532121/tons-of-package-did-not-load-correctly-errors, the latter of which suggests possible causes and workarounds) and I'm confident they're not related to Web Workbench. Thanks for the heads up though, and glad the original problem is resolved!

I am experiencing the same issue.

I installed the latest version of Web Workbench and attempted to install the integration extension and it still does not work.

I had to disable the extension.
