vs2012 web essentials won't auto compile less files on save - visual-studio-2012

I'm using Web Essentials 2012 version 1.8.5 ,
for some reason it won't auto compile less files to CSS.
when I hit the save after I've made some changes to the less files I can see "web essentials compiling file.less" on the status line for a split of a second but nothing really happen. eg. the fils.css is not really changing.
Did someone have the same problem? or is someone knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
p.s
I did try the uninstall/install

Version 7.13.0 Bixby IDE update. Action .js scripts appearing as normal text?

I have updated the Bixby IDE today to the most recent update: Version 7.13.0. I was wondering if it is normal for the .js action scripts to appear without theme and color?
Thank you.
Thank you for letting us know.
A hot fix has been deployed by IDE group. I've verified the fix myself.
Version (7.13.0-r20d.15375) would fix this issue. Please restart IDE and follow the prompt to download/install new version.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for letting us know this issue so quickly. Wish you have some fun developing with Bixby.

AndroidStudio update destroyed everything and I need help as to which way I should rebuild (details of fiasco within)

After this huge mess from one AndroidStudio update, am cleaning everything and starting from scratch.
I'd like to ask if anyone knows if I should go with specific versions of Java.
But first my headache, although I just cleaned my computer of AndroidStudio.
I have Win 10 64 bit
HAD AndroidStudio 1.51 (it said it was JRE:1.7.0_79-b15 amd64)
After the update I had a "Unsupported major.minor version 52.0" error
Following some posts I upgraded the Java on my machine.
First "1.8.0_74" but AndroidStudio couldn't find the JDK directory, so I installed "1.8.0_73" and AndroidStudio found the JDK directory. But then I started getting rendering errors but with Rendering Problems Exception raised during
rendering: com.android.ide.common.rendering.api.LayoutlibCallback.getXmlFileParser(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/xmlpull/v1/XmlPullParser;
Anyway, that's it. This has become such a tragedy that I would rather start from scratch, but if anyone could point me as to the proper (steps) of which way I should go, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks ahead,
Sergio
I met this issue when I updated the api android 23 N (preview). In xml editor, change the Api to render into Api 23 android 6.0 and Autimatically Pick best.This would solve the problem.
refer: link
Yes.. i also faced same problem,I have resolved with changing the version to api 23.generally it will take best/latest version ,in my case its set to N preview.

Adding xUnit Support for ReSharper

I have VS 2013 and ReSharper 8.2
I am trying to add xUnit support extension for resharper but I can not find it.
It is the only place to get it AFAIK
Am I doing something wrong?
It should be there...
https://resharper-plugins.jetbrains.com/packages/xunitcontrib/Download
UPDATE: This bug is fixed, and the 8.2 feed is working as expected - you should be able to find the package without any trouble.
Unfortunately, there's currently a bug in the gallery which means the index for the 8.2 feed loses items over time. I'm hoping to have it fixed this week, but in the meantime, I can rebuild the index manually to get it working. If you still don't see it, you can ping me on twitter (#citizenmatt) and I can rebuild it again.

Sass, NOT SCSS in visual studio 2012

Can someone please tell me how to get syntax highlighting for .sass, please no .scss help. I have installed every plugin or Nuget package i could find, and they all say sass support. But they mean scss, i wish they did not have the same name, because this is driving me insane.
I can compile .sass just fine, just my file looks like a plain text file.
Lastly, am i crazy or does VS simple not allow you to create a .sass file? I know i can create another file and rename it to .sass, but that seams real real dumb.
Thanks for any help, ill get everyone i know to in the world to up vote your answer lol.
For anyone still looking for an answer. the only plugin that worked for me is SassyStudio it's free and generate css and minification as well.
.scss is the file extension sass is the name
Mindscape Web Workbench has a visual studio extension for it recommend by scott hanselman
or you could also look at sassy studio.
all the best

The parameter is incorrect

When I try to add a service reference to my project in Visual Studio I keep getting the error " The parameter is incorrect" I know it's not the code because it doesn't happen on my coworkers computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio to see if the problem is with my installation. But that doesnt seem to fix it.
I am using visual Studio 2012.
Did anyone come across this issue before? Please help!
I had this problem with a project that was copied out of ClearCase. the .csproj file still had the reference telling visual studio that its still under CC. I removed the following references and it worked.
<SccProjectName>Rational ClearCase</SccProjectName>
<SccLocalPath>Rational ClearCase</SccLocalPath>
<SccAuxPath>Rational ClearCase</SccAuxPath>
<SccProvider>Rational ClearCase</SccProvider>
I had the same issue after updating SQLite plugin for windows phone.
It seems like the sqlite-net-wp8 project (which is a wrapper to work with the plugin) had some import method from that plugin and when the version changed the wrapper didn't work anymore.
The solution was to downgrade the sqlite plugin to a version that is compatible with the wp8 wrapper.
Edit: The wrapper had an update so I've upgraded both the plugin and wrapper and now the issue is fixed.
If it shows any project in your solution with "(failed)" next to it's name try to remove it and re-add it to your solution and it will tell you what the issue exactly is.
In addition to Frisons answer - the issue works aswell the other way round:
If you are using ClearCase, make sure that the entries mentioned by Frison are available in your project file. I just had this case that one of the projects in my solution did not (however) had these entries and i got the very same error. Adding these lines fixed this issue for me.
I got the same error for WindowsPhone project, after make a clear manifest the error disappeared.
