Crash in the CTP when opening "Blank App (Apache Cordova)" with Web Essentials for Update 2

I have the problem with the CTP of Multi-Device Hybrid Apps for Visual Studio (V 0.1.52514.1) The solutions generated by both the Typescript and the Javascript template will crash Visual Studio if I have the Web Essentials for Update 2 (version 2.2) enabled.

I don't really need a solution I just wanted to share. It's a CTP after all. /Magnus

Solution

  • This is a known issue with Web Essential and the team has already fixed it in their nightly builds, so you may want to update as a temporary workaround.
