Hi there, I have installed web workbench on VS2012. I clicked 'setup compass project' on the context menu for the whole project and it created a set of compass folders for me on the main project directory. However, I didn't want these folders there and couldn't see a way to remove the compass project, so I used source control to undo pending changes to get rid of these folders. Now, however, I can't create a new compass project again. I can get SASS running by adding a new .scss file, but it doesn't have any of the compass mixins, etc. Can you let me know how to reset the functionality (removing and reinstalling the extension didn't work) if this is indeed possible? I now know removing the files using source control was daft (I have a six week old baby and am not getting much sleep) but I am hoping there is a way to reset it so I can still use compass, as I don't have much faith in TFS playing nice with a standalone ruby/compass install watching my project directory. Anyway, any input much appreciated :) Cheers |

Are you working with a web site project or a web application project? The context menu item is controlled by a setting we either store in the project file or in the WebWorkbench.mswwsettings file. If you have a project file, open it in a text editor and search for IsCompassProject. Remove that XML element and save the file. If you have a WebWorkbench.mswwsettings file, open it in a text editor and search for IsCompassProject. As above remove it and save the file. Once you have removed this setting the context menu option should then be available again.

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for this. Would you be able to point me in the direction of the .msswsettings file? I have searched through my C drive, looked in local app data and can't find anything. I've also searched through the files in my project for the 'IsCompassProject' flag and can't find anything. Any further help much appreciated :) Cheers andy |

The .mswwsettings file is only used if you dont have a project file. If the project does not have a IsCompassProject setting then you should be seeing the context menu item so one other thing to check for is if Web Workbench is actually active. If you look under the Extensions manager is Web Workbench showing as enabled and are you seeing a Mindscape menu item in the top level menu?
