VS2022 - WebCompiler and BundlerMinifier #10802

deltavision created one year ago

Hi,

Version: 9.0.1, ASP NET CORE, MVC

With reference to #7666

Started using VS2022.

and the "old" Web Compiler from Mads Kristensen (less -> css) is no longer supported. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.WebCompiler

But is continued by Jason Moore at: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Failwyn.WebCompiler64&ssr=false#overview

Is that also what you are using / recommend?

Regarding Bundler & Minifier - is that used anymore? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.BundlerMinifier

Is that not handled by "gulp" ?

Hi @deltavision

You don't need to use WebCompiler and BundlerMinifier. As you stated, gulp task handles less to css converstion. But, if you need to use those extensions for other purposes, I tried them with VS 2022 and worked for me in 2-3 weeks ago.

Hi @ismcagdas,

I can not see that gulp transforms any new less files to css. Do I have to set something up on new files (less) ?

Any changes to the build scripts?

For Development (create-bundles)

set projectDir= [....path...]

set workingDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\Tools\
set vs=VsDevCmd.bat

cd %workingDir%
start /b %vs%

:: your commands go here, such as:
d:
cd %projectDir%
npm run create-bundles

For Production (build)

set projectDir=[....path...]

set workingDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\Tools\
set vs=VsDevCmd.bat

cd %workingDir%
start /b %vs%

:: your commands go here, such as:
d:
cd %projectDir%
npm run build

Hi,

Yes, you need to add new style files to bundles.json file.

Hi,

how do we indicate that in bundles.json? - just change the file extensions from css to less or how?

Hi @deltavision

It already has less files input. See: https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-zero-core/blob/59d8a2e46e84f4a67b4ce369cf604847863bc107/aspnet-core/src/MyCompanyName.AbpZeroTemplate.Web.Mvc/bundles.json#L512-L524
