I've installed the latest version of web workbench, but I haven't been able to get it to run. If I open a coffee file I've written I'll see the upgrade to pro button on the bottom right, but that's all I've seen. What am I missing, Thanks in advance. |

If the compilers aren't hooking up automatically, try entering the custom tool name by hand: 1. Select the .scss or .coffee file in Solution Explorer We're not sure what causes the templates not to appear, but if all else fails try copying the .zip files from: %profile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Mindscape\Mindscape Web Workbench\%ver%\ItemTemplates to the corresponding subdirectories of %profile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ItemTemplates Then restart Visual Studio and see if that helps. |

Small glitch: the directory under VisualStudio should be 10.0, not 10.0Exp, and of course you'll need to replace 1.0.0.0 with the installed version of Web Workbench (it'll be obvious if you browse down to it using Explorer). |

This happened to me as well, I re-installed the plugin a couple of times, bought the pro version restarted in and out of admin mode but nothing worked. FYI I'm using VS 2010 Ultimate Edition. BTW the fix of manually copying the zip files didn't work for me either. The only thing that's working is manually entering the CustomTool for each file, Just in time too as I was about to give up. Anyway I'm happy to buy the Pro license and support your efforts, hopefully bugs like this will get fixed in the next update. |

I installed per suggested instructions in the thread and still didn't have any luck. I was trying to use the plugin in a razor web app. I was thinking maybe razor was the issue. I tried an asp.net project with no luck as well. One last effort I tried it in a MVC app and the files showed up along with compilation. I haven't looked at modifying the templates to work with the other types yet. I switch betweenthe types of projects I work on. To keep consistant between projects I'm sticking with a command line window open running "coffee --watch --compile monies.coffee". |

kingbin, Is it possible that your other project was a Web Site rather than a Web Application Project? That could explain why you are seeing it in your MVC project (which is always a true project) but not in your Web site (Web Sites are not true projects). mythz, I don't think the Web Site possibility would be the issue for you because you are seeing the Custom Tool option which doesn't show up in Web Sites. You could try running devenv /installvstemplates from a VS2010 command prompt, though VS is usually pretty good at picking up templates automatically. Are either of you on a non-English version of Visual Studio? We don't *think* this should make a difference, but if you are, then it could be an avenue of investigation for us... Thanks for reporting these issues and for your patience as we try to reproduce them! |

I've just downloaded and installed the latest version, unfortunately the templates are still missing for me. |

I'm in the same boat as mythz. Running Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. |

Thanks for the info -- again please check that you are in a Web Application Project (i.e. you have a real .csproj file) rather than a Web Site. If you are in a Web Application Project, you can fix the "files not generated" issue by manually associating the WW custom tools with your files: * Select the .coffee, .less or .scss file in Solution Explorer You should now see outputs being generated. We will keep trying to reproduce this! |

OK, I think I found something interesting here. I verified that I was in a Web Application Project (with a .csproj file) and that was true. I highlighted the Web Application Project in the solution explorer and I then went up to the File->New->File... I was then presented with the dialog box that lets me select the type of new file I want. I selected the 'web' category and didn't see .coffee, .less, or .scss files as a possible option. Then just for kicks, I went over to the Solution Explorer and right-clicked on the Web Application Project and selected 'Add'->New Item... and then under the Web category of the dialog box that appears, I see all the file types (.coffee, .less, .scss). So long story short, it's all working and is a result of 'user error'. Hopefully this helps someone else that might be doing the same thing.
Thank you,
Bill |

Windows 7 64, German version (f**), VS2010 Ultimate, UAC active I see the file templates if in a web project (although I would like to have them out of web app context as well) The first time I open a coffee script I have to trust the template. I do so Nothing works. Manually associating the CoffeeScript compiler does not change anything. No js is created. No output in the output windows. nada => SOLVED: A version of "Python Tools for Visual Studio" messed up my system. reinstalled it and now everything is fine. thx for providing these great tools ! On my other machine: Vista 64, english, VS2010 Ultimate everything works perfect. some seconds installation e voila everything worked |

Thank you Bill. I was having the exact same problem and going to the solution explorer worked perfectly for me, too. |
