Sass failing to compile - Web Essentials 2013 Update 4 "Unable to find resource"

Does anybody have an idea, what causes the following error?

23.07.2015 17:48:14: SCSS: Compiling widgetmain.scss
23.07.2015 17:48:14: Looking for resource @ http://localhost.:55559/
23.07.2015 17:48:14: Looking for resource @ http://localhost.:55559/
23.07.2015 17:48:15: Looking for resource @ http://localhost.:55559/
23.07.2015 17:48:15: Looking for resource @ http://localhost.:55559/
23.07.2015 17:48:15: Looking for resource @ http://localhost.:55559/
23.07.2015 17:48:16: Looking for resource @ http://localhost.:55559/
23.07.2015 17:48:16: Unable to find resource, aborting

It occurs when I save a scss file. It occurs even when I clear the file completely. That's why I did not post any source code. The port number changes every time.

When I open the compiled view of the file it shows:

/*
Compilation Error occurred (see error list to navigate to the error location):
*/

I already reinstalled Web Essentials, but I had no luck.

Solution

  • According to https://github.com/madskristensen/WebEssentials2013/issues/1914 @efepuntomarcos's information, I add "localhost." (that has a dot at the end) into the proxy ignore list in IE, that also fix this problem and maintains IE's function.
