Web essentials 2017 not shown in visual studio 2017 toolbars

I just downloaded and installed Web essentials 2017 for Visual Studio 2017 from here. But it doesn't show in VS toolbar or any browser!

Any idea how to resolve this ?

Solution

  • According to this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/madskristensen/WebEssentials2017/issues/12 it won't work like on older versions. You need to do this:

    1. Install this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-essentials/mghdcdlpcdiodelbplncnodiiadljhhk
    2. To get Inspect and Debug Mode install this additional extension in VisualStudio: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.BrowserLinkInspector2017

    Hope this helps.
