I have recently upgraded to VS2012 and have a small issue. All our sass files are checked into source control and the corresponding css file gets generated when the project is built (the css file is never part of source control). with VS2012, as soon as i edit the sass file, a css file is created under the sass file (nested under it) and the project file is checked out. I do not want this as we don't need to check in the css file.
Is there an option i can set to avoid this ? Had a quick look under tools ->options but didnt see anything
The only plugin we have installed is Mindscape Web Workbench free version.
Thank you for any advice.
So the Web Workbench plugin was automatically modifying the project file and including the following under my scss files. This was still present even when i disabled and removed the plugin. There's no option to disable this function in Web Workbench, so i wont be using it anymore.
<Compile>True</Compile>
<Minify>True</Minify>
<CompileStyle>Nested</CompileStyle>
<DebugInfo>False</DebugInfo>
Using SassyStudio now which is nice and simple.Has the option to disable auto css creation and project adding etc.
Hope this explanation can help someone else.

I am finding old CSS code on my browser instead it has the new code in server files. I can see the minified CSS code on browser when application gets loaded up.
My team is using Liferay framework which seems to minify the CSS files. I am noob in liferay.
I found portal-ext.properties under liferay-portal-6.1.10-ee-ga1/tomcat-7.0.25/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/ but didn't found any parameter for minifying the CSS files?
You shouldn't just update any CSS code you find deployed on the server. Instead, update your theme, build it (it builds to a web application) and deploy it to the server. This will take care of minification and updating caches. Just changing random files in the realm of the webserver will not.
For this you'll have to find the source files for your theme (or a whole plugins-sdk, which might contain that theme). Look at your organization's source control system, which is where I'd expect it.
Explaining how to update and build themes goes well beyond the scope of a single answer here, if these are really your first steps it might be worth getting some help from someone who has some experience with Liferay.
I have an application that was created from create_react_app then ejected, with no modifications.
Everything works as expected when running the dev version.
Unfortunately when I do npm run build and run this via serve -s build my styles are not working.
The .css files are being found and compiled into a single minified version. But the problem is that the markup that is generated is having the class name prefixes changed to 'T-' instead of the prefix in the compiled .css file. (i.e) MyApp-header is getting changed to T-header, but in the minified css file, it still refers to MyApp-header.
prefix changed to T-
Any help would be appreciated.
This issue turned out to be caused by some nuance of using this...
#SuitCssify.decorator
I was evaluating this library for potential use in a project, and didn't discover this issue until trying to produce an actual production build.
I've since abandoned this approach and changed my configuration to use "CSS Modules" which are working out great. I would provide a link, but my reputation only allows me one link per post. ;(
my 'webpack.config.[dev & prod].js' changes to enable css modules
I'm running JetBrains ReSharper 8.2 on a project that uses SASS for styling.
I compile my seperate scss files into one file "common.css". This file is not included in the project, but gets compiled on build on the server (grunt + compass takes care of this).
I don't want to include this file, but only my SCSS files in the project. This however causes ReSharper to report a lot of errors ("Unknown CSS class"...) in my views because the file isn't included.
Is there a workaround for this (without disabling css errors in settings)?
I've tried the "ReSharper.ExternalCode" extension (https://resharper-plugins.jetbrains.com/packages/ReSharper.ExternalCode), but without any luck.
Sadly, there isn't a workaround for this. ReSharper doesn't know about SCSS files, and doesn't know anything about files that aren't included in the project, so it can only assume the CSS classes are undefined.
The external code plugin should work and allow ReSharper to process the resulting css file. However, I'm not sure how flexible it is - I think it needs everything to be configured before the solution is opened. That is, it only tells ReSharper about the generated file when the solution is being opened. Configuring things while a solution is open probably won't be reflected immediately (but I haven't tried it). Similarly, it doesn't notify ReSharper of changes to the file, and I don't think that ReSharper sets up any monitoring. So if the file isn't available when the solution opens, or changes while it's open, ReSharper won't have correct information. I'd try and configure it, close the solution and reopen.
I'm using SquishIt and have a .less file which I add to a CSS bundle with the following line
.Add("~/content/styles/dev.less")
This compiles as dev.less.debug.css when I build the solution, however I'd like to be able to just save the .less file and it automatically compiles the css (so I see the change instantly in my browser as I would with a traditional CSS file).
I have looked at a number of extensions to achieve this (such as LessExtension and LessCssForVisualStudio) but these require the file to be added to the bundle as dev.css rather than dev.less. Mindscape Web Workbench does not compile LESS files in its free version so I do not know if it also requires dev.css.
I can't change the link to the file as the project will be worked on across teams, where some won't install an extension and will be happy to build the solution to compile.
Is there and extension that automatically compiles LESS that is built to work with SquishIt?
If you use it on non-production site, I would suggest using less.js (It will render css with js on client-side).
Squishit uses dotless under the hood, so you could use that directly.. either set it up so that you request the less file and a handler returns CSS or you can use the exe to compile on build and also the watch mode... I'm not sure what's best for you, but you can find more information on the dotless wiki (https://github.com/dotless/dotless/wiki/Using-.less)
Web essentials does this job perfectly and its free.

I just started using the ZXing SDK in my iPhone project. This requires that include it be renamed to .mm files (objective-c++).
The problem is that because of one file in my project xcode refactoring has been disabled for the entire thing.
Is there a work around to this issue? A way to refactor for everything except that file or a better way to include things? Possibly by making a static lib of third party code?
I can recreate the problem you're having by adding a C++ file to a Cocoa project. I was able to enable the refactoring menu items by selecting a different file in the project navigator and selecting some text. If that doesn't work, you could remove the one file from the project, do the refactoring, and add the file back to the project.
