Nested .less files do not compile anymore after updating to vs 2013 update 2

[clement911]

Hi,
I like to nest my .less files under my .cshtml files. That worked fine before vs 2013 update 2.
However, after installing vs 2013 update 2 (RTM) AND the latest web essentials, it seems that this doesn't work anymore.
As a work around, I have to un-nest my .less file, save the file to trigger the compile, and then re-nest it under my .cshtml file. But you can't perform this work around when the debugger is attached so it really messes up the workflow...

Same problem... when the .less file is nested, the .css file is not updated when saved.

Upgraded to the current nightly build and the issue is still there.

How are you guys nesting your .less file under .cshtml? By editing csproj file or using some third-party plugin?

Probably https://github.com/madskristensen/FileNesting

@SLaks, thanks. I tried with that one and able to reproduce this issue.

Apparently, this is by design. See 41b236d.

@madskristensen, why are we filtering nested files from compiler pipeline?

[SLaks]

To avoid linting compiled output.
This should be moved to https://github.com/madskristensen/WebEssentials2013/blob/master/EditorExtensions/Shared/Linters/LintFileInvoker.cs

[madskristensen]

@am11 So that we don't compile LESS/Sass files nested under .sprite files. We should probably enable compilation for any other nested files.

This is fixed by d596f94.

Great! Do you know when this will be available in the 'nightly' build? (I'm not clear on when those are done.)

[clement911]

Thanks for the quick fix!

[madskristensen]

@glittle I'll release a new nightly build later today.

@am11 I use NestIn to nest files https://github.com/madskristensen/FileNesting but I'm looking at Mads FileNesting https://github.com/madskristensen/FileNesting (it seems more powerful).
