I have a less file main.less that #imports other less files so they can all be compiled into a single main.css file.
With Web Essentials 2013, saving any of the imported files would trigger a compile of the main.less - which isn't happening with this extension.
Is there a configuration I'm missing?
Right now I use Alt-Shift-y as a workaround to force compile all the less files.
I don't want to go with the grunt solution, described here
Do you have Web Workbench installed? That helped me, then it compiles automatically. https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/2b96d16a-c986-4501-8f97-8008f9db141a

I am new to WebRTC stuff. I cloned the webrtc_ios main branch, and I built the framework as instructed here with the python script for arm64. When I add this to my Xcode project as a framework, everything is fine. Project builds, I can import files using <WebRTC/...> syntax.
However, I need to use RTCMTLRendeder.h file. Building a framework with python script leaves some of the header files out. (When I take a look at WebRTC.h inside the built framework, I can see that this file is missing) How can I include all header files that actually exist inside /webrtc_ios/src/sdk/objc/components folder while building the framework? I can see RTCMTLRenderer.h and .mm files are in that folder before using the build script. When turned into a framework those files don't exist inside the framework anymore. Why? And is there any other way to actually copy those files into the project as well?
Turns out you need to create your own, long renderer class which does not inherit from RTCMTLRenderer at all if you want to render on Metal view manually in a Swift/ObjC hybrid project (at least this is how I solved it). That class does whatever RTCMTLRenderer does, and grabs pixel buffers from RTCVideoTrack through an RTCVideoView.
I have an UglifyJS file watcher set up in IntelliJ IDEA, and it works great while I'm editing -- I modify the source js, the minified version gets created next to it automatically.
However, when I run an Ant build, and it copies the minified versions into the build working dir, the watcher "helpfully" creates doubly minified versions of them (*.min.min.js) in the build working dir, not ok.
I've set the Scope of the watcher to the 'src' module, but apparently that doesn't do what you'd think it would, because the doubles get created when Ant copies files into the 'build' module. Happens when I use IDEA to manually copy a single file from src to build too.
I don't see how to set this up to include *.js but exclude *.min.js, which is really the right thing. (Seems so sensible that Uglify should have it built in, but far as I can see it doesn't.)
Other than getting rid of the watcher and scripting the build do the minification, or copying only the original js versions and letting the watcher (re)create the minified ones, what's the best way to go here?
Got this working, thanks to a helpful commenter on the IDEA forum. The key is setting up a custom Scope, which I tried to do before but failed.
Pattern I ended up with was this, for anyone with similar needs:
file[src]:*.js&&!file:*min.js*
Making the 'src' module current then opening the dlg and selecting it from the dropdown in the main watcher config window apparently doesn't actually filter by that module. Clicking the ... btn, then choosing it from the dlg that opens does, plus I added an explicit filename pattern to exclude already minified files too.
Works great now, far as I've tested (both a minimal Ant test and manually copying a file to 'build' in IDEA).
This is an old question, and perhaps the Watchers didn't have this functionality at the time.
Using JetBrains 'macro' codes makes the 'min.min.min.js' problem go away.
$FileNameWithoutAllExtensions$.js -m --source-map -o $ContentRoot$\prod\js\$FileNameWithoutAllExtensions$.min.js
I always set 'Scope' to 'Current File', too; why run uglify on files that haven't been altered? (I'm assuming that any 3rd party JS libraries are already minified).
Does anyone know how to setup WebStorm to work with CodeKit on a mac?
The ultimate goal is to get codekit to run and compile the my scss when a file is saved in WebStorm.
May be I have miss understood your question but, webstorm can compile your scss files automatically whenever you change them. Why do you need codekit to run?
I was looking for the same answer. From my initial test, I had both CodeKit and Webstorm open together. When I had Webstorm compile the SCSS it produced the map file which helps debug the SCSS files and changed the scss in CodeKit. Whereas codekit does not produce the map but produces a config file. I guess that it depends on who else needs to work with your code.
I use a CoffeeScript file watcher in IntelliJ to compile my CoffeeScript files. However, when I start the IDE, it does not interpret the files immediately. In the project structure, there are two files visible:
When I open the coffee file and change something, then the watcher is launched and compiles my script, which is also visible in the project structure:
Is there a way to tell IntelliJ that it should "precompile" all .coffee scripts in a project?
The problem is not only about the visibility of both .js and .coffee files. I want to store only .coffee files in the repository so initial compilation will be mandatory after the checkout.
I know I might use Grunt or even a coffee watcher to compile them, but my project involves a few really non-consoleable folks.
In my project I have a master .less file which imports some other .less files.
I only need the .css file corresponding to this master .less file, but Web Essentials keeps compiling the other .less files to css when I modify them.
Is there any way to configure which CSS files should be generated?
It's obviously not possible to configure it in Web Essentials.
I finally ended up using dotless to manage LESS in my ASP.Net MVC application.
Sometime around the end of 2012, Web Essentials added the ability to ignore .less files that start with an underscore (_). So, if you don't want variables.less to be compiled, just name it to _variables.less.
